Austin officers Tased a man on Research Boulevard because he was injuring himself with a pipe. He later died at a hospital, but his cause of death is unknown.
APD said it received multiple 911 calls at around 3 a.m. that a man with obvious injuries was in the roadway in the 12000 block of Research Boulevard. When officers arrived on the scene at approximately 3:09 a.m., they located the man.
APD said at that time, one of the responding officers Tased Brown"in order to prevent further injury" and officers took him into custody. He then became unresponsive, and officers began performing CPR as they called Austin-Travis County EMS to the scene. APD will conduct two concurrent investigations into this incident: a criminal investigation, conducted by APD's Special Investigation Unit in conjunction with the Travis County District Attorney's Office, and an internal investigation, conducted by APD's Internal Affairs Unit with oversight from the Office of Police Oversight.
