stop and warned him he would be tased if he failed to comply. The suspect kept running and an officer
deployed his taser, but it did not make full contact and was ineffective. A second officer deployed his taser,
which led to the suspect falling and hitting his head on the ground. Officers placed the suspect into handcuffs,
sat him upright, and immediately called for an ambulance.
The suspect was transported by Frisco Fire Department to a nearby hospital to undergo treatment for his
injury. On September 29, 2022, after continuous care at Baylor McKinney, the suspect died.
