1:48Now PlayingThe first witness to testify Thursday in the trial of two Aurora officers charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain focused on the body-worn camera footage recorded on the night officers confronted the 23-year-old man.
It was Aug. 24, 2019, when a teenage boy called 911 and relayed that he saw McClain wearing a coat and mask and acting "suspicious." Less than a minute after police arrived, McClain was taken to the ground and engaged in a struggle with three Aurora officers.
Later that same night he was injected with ketamine, a sedative, by paramedics. McClain's heart stopped and he was taken off life support three days later.
It wasn't until September 2021 that a grand jury returned indictments against the officers and two paramedics. Two of them, suspended officer Randy Roedema, 41, and former officer Jason Rosenblatt, 34, are currently on trial for charges of reckless manslaughter and second-degree assault.
