The charges against two sheriff’s deputies and a hospital employee in the death of Irvo Otieno have been downgraded to involuntary manslaughter, officials say.
Otieno, a 28-year-old Black man, died in March 2023 after he was restrained by Henrico County sheriff's deputies and hospital workers while he was being admitted to Central State Hospital. Prosecutors initially charged 10 people with second-degree murder, but withdrew charges against a total of seven people, leaving just three people facing prosecution.
