Three Aurora, Colorado, police officers have been placed on administrative leave and are being probed for taking photos at a memorial for Elijah McClain, CBS4 Denver reports. The 23-year-old died in August 2019 after cops restrained him using a now-banned chokehold, and his death has since made national headlines. Late Monday night, CBS4 reported that the three officers took pictures at the memorial re-enacting the carotid hold, which was used on McClain. Interim Aurora police chief Vanessa Wilson said in a statement that the results of the investigation will be made public, including “reports, photographic evidence obtained, officer’s names, and my final determination which can rise to the level of termination.”
