Neighbors say Herman Whitfield III was a loving man who brought everyone together by playing the piano — something that will be missed.A neighbor, who asked not to be named, said Whitfield's death is a huge loss for his family.
A 911 call on Monday morning by Whitfield III's parents revealed he was in mental distress and requested an ambulance.After more than 10 minutes of negotiating and using de-escalation tactics, IMPD says Whitfield III quickly moved toward an officer, and a Taser was deployed on him twice for five seconds.When medics went inside after the scene was secure IMPD says they found Whitfield III unresponsive. Handcuffs were taken off and CPR was given.
According to IMPD's use of force policy regarding tasers or electronic control devices, officers will"attempt to target a subject below the chest or heart area or from the shoulders down on the back of a subject."
