Three charged in death of Michigan teenager restrained at youth academy
Three staff members at a youth facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, have been charged in the death of a black teenager who died days after being restrained for throwing a sandwich, a county prosecutor announced Wednesday. The decision comes after the county medical examiner ruled 16-year-old Cornelius Fredericks' death a homicide by a result of"restraint asphyxia."
According to the charging documents, Mosley and Solis are accused of restraining Frederick in a"grossly negligent manner." McLogan, who was a nurse at the facility, is accused of failing to seek timely medical care for the teen. An investigation by Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services found that staffers used a restraint that was"significantly disproportionate" after Fredericks threw a sandwich in the facility's cafeteria on April 29. Multiple staff members attempted to restrain the teen, with one sitting on Fredericks' chest for about 12 minutes, the report found.
Fredericks died two days later. The county medical examiner on Wednesday ruled the death as a homicide and said the teen died as a result of"restraint asphyxia," according to attorney Geoffrey Fieger, who represents Fredericks' family. Fieger has called on prosecutors to bring murder charges against the staffers.
