Fox News
A verdict has been reached in the trial of three Tacoma police officers charged in the death of Manuel 'Manny' Ellis, who died in police custody in March 2020.
The Pierce County medical examiner ruled Ellis’ death a homicide caused by oxygen deprivation, but lawyers for the officers said a high level of methamphetamine in Ellis’ system and a heart irregularity were factors in his death.
Tacoma Police Officers Matthew Collins and Christopher Burbank, who were first on the scene, were charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter.
