In May 2017, Officer Kenneth Lopera placed Tashii Brown, an unarmed man, in a chokehold and repeatedly shocked him with a stun gun, leading to Brown’s death by asphyxiation. Lopera was charged with involuntary manslaughter and oppression under color of office. Despite the charges, a grand jury declined to indict him, resulting in no conviction. The incident sparked nationwide outrage and raised concerns about police training and accountability within the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
