INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The family of a teenage shoplifting suspect who died in Indianapolis police custody after complaining of breathing problems has hired an attorney to investigate the events leading up to his death.
A coroner says 18-year-old Terrell Day died of a heart attack in the back of an ambulance after twice complaining about having breathing problems.
Police say Day pulled a handgun during a shoplifting incident at a clothing store. He was arrested after police said they found him near a handgun in a grassy area not far from the store.
Day family attorney Nathaniel Lee tells The Indianapolis Star the family is seeking answers “to determine exactly what occurred.”
