A former Las Vegas police officer will not be indicted in the death of a man on the Las Vegas Strip. On May 14, 2017, former Metropolitan Police Department officer Kenneth Lopera shocked Tashii Brown with a Taser 7 times, punched him in the head repeatedly and placed him in a chokehold for more than a minute. Brown died after the encounter outside The Venetian, and Lopera was arrested and retired from the force. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the Review-Journal that his office is “exploring further options.” Lopera still has pending criminal charges in Las Vegas Justice Court, and is due back in court Aug. 2.
