Prosecutors charged four Milwaukee hotel employees Tuesday with being a party to felony murder in connection with D'Vontaye Mitchell's death.
According to a criminal complaint, the four employees dragged Mitchell out of the Hyatt Hotel on June 30 after Mitchell entered a woman's bathroom and held him on his stomach for eight or nine minutes. The guards are seen on cellphone video footage holding Mitchell down on the hotel's driveway. They are heard in the video telling Mitchell to "stay down" and "stop fighting."
One of the employees told investigators that Mitchell was having trouble breathing and repeatedly pleaded for help, according to the complaint. Witness Shawn Moore told CBS News he heard screaming from the hotel while walking to a nearby Walgreens to pick up some things for his son.
