DETROIT (AP) — A 15-year-old has died after he was Tasered by police following a traffic stop and short foot chase that began just north of Detroit.
Warren Deputy Police Commissioner Jere Green says the teen was Tasered Friday while struggling with officers inside an abandoned Detroit house. He later was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The house was about a half-mile from where Warren police stopped a vehicle for having an expired license plate. The teen was one of three people in the vehicle. The other two were taken into custody.
The death is under investigation. An autopsy is scheduled Saturday.
