The top prosecutor in Las Vegas says there will be a use-of-force review of the death of an unarmed man after police officers squeezed his neck to subdue him outside a Las Vegas Strip casino.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said Monday the public airing will be scheduled following an investigation of the death early Sunday of 40-year-old Tashii S. Brown.
Wolfson says the proceedings will be similar to those he holds in shooting cases.
Police say an officer used a stun gun and punched Brown during a struggle that ended when an officer squeezed Brown's neck to restrict the flow of blood to his brain.
A ruling from the Clark County coroner about the cause of death is pending.
Police have not said if the officers involved are still on-duty pending departmental and district attorney reviews of Brown's death.
