Overview

• State investigators published more than six hours of footage showing the June 24 encounter with 31-year-old Dontae Melton Jr., who appeared to be in a mental-health crisis.
• The recordings depict officers restraining Melton with handcuffs and leg shackles, repeatedly requesting medics, and voicing concern as his breathing appeared to worsen.
• An ambulance never arrived, investigators said, and officers drove Melton to Grace Medical Center around 10:30 p.m.; he was pronounced dead shortly after 3 a.m. on June 25.
• The Maryland Attorney General’s Independent Investigations Division previously named 10 involved Baltimore Police officers and says its inquiry remains active.
• Baltimore’s mayor has said a heat-related failure of the city’s Computer-Aided Dispatch system is being examined as a factor in the delay, as reported medical records describe hallucinations, head-banging and frothing before Melton became unresponsive.
