9NEWS (Denver):
The Aurora Police Department late Monday night released body camera footage of its officers involved in a 12- minute altercation with a man who ended up dying from what the coroner called restraint asphyxia in late 2018.
David Baker, a Navy veteran and father, was fighting back with officers who had responded to a domestic.
Aurora PD released multiple angles of the fight along with their version of what happened.
While the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office ruled the death of 32-year-old Baker a homicide, prosecutors quietly decided not to file any charges against any of the officers who responded to the chaotic scene in Aurora on Dec. 17, 2018.
The day after the fight – a fight that eventually led to a police response of more than two dozen officers – Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz called the event, “one of the most violent altercations I have seen in my [35-year] career.”
