Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus offered to resign from his position with the mayor during the press conference on Wednesday. This happened while they discussed the fatal death of Carlos Ingram-Lopez, a Hispanic man.

Meanwhile, three other police officers involved in the fatal death of Ingram-Lopez resigned before the investigation was completed. Magnus said that they filed their resignation on July 18 while the department was still investigating the incident.

Police Chief Chris Magnus said that the department would have terminated the police officers if they did not resign according to a published report in CNN News.

Moreover, Magnus' resignation offer will have to be forwarded by the city manager with the recommendation to the city mayor and the city council either to accept it or not.

The Death of the Hispanic Man

A body camera video recorded the arrest of the Hispanic man Carlos Ingram-Lopez on April 21. However, the video was just shown recently to the public, and Magnus said that it is tough to watch the recorded video.

According to a published report in a local news outlet in Tucson, police officers received a call from the Lopez family around 1:00 a.m. on April 21, the 27-year-old Hispanic man Carlos Ingram-Lopez was drunk, yelling, and running around the house naked.

The video showed how police officers wrestled with the Hispanic man in the dimly lighted single-car garage. It was also seen how they managed to handcuff Ingram-Lopez, who was still naked and his hands behind his back.

In the video, Ingram-Lopez said: "Nana, nana, please some water," Nana refers to his grandmother. At that time, the officers told him to chill down and to relax. However, it can also be heard that one of the police officers said that he would be shocked with a Taser if he would not calm down.

Police officers covered the Hispanic man with a yellow emergency blanket that was inside their patrol car. Several minutes later, they observed that Ingram-Lopez was unconscious already, and that's when they began performing CPR with him while waiting for the medical personnel to arrive.

Result of the Autopsy

The Pima County Medical Examiner said that the autopsy was based on the available medical history of the Hispanic man, examination of the remains, and the circumstances that surround his death was also considered. It was found out that the cause of death is attributed to sudden cardiac arrest and associated with acute cocaine intoxication and physical restraint with cardiac left ventricular hypertrophy as a significant contributing condition.

He also added that the manner of the Hispanic man's death was undetermined. Meanwhile, the case is now under review by the Pima County Attorney's Office, while Magnus said that he also requested the FBI to investigate the incident.

Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus also said that based on the internal investigation, they found out that the arrest did not indicate malicious intent and said that they did not deploy strikes, choke holds or place a knee on Ingram-Lopez's neck. However, he also admitted that police officers committed multiple policy violations.
