Julio Jones, 30, died in the early hours of a November morning in 2010 in Las Vegas after a confrontation with police following a traffic stop near Martin Luther King and Lake Mead boulevards. An officer stopped Jones’s Lexus for having its headlights off; the officer described Jones as acting erratically and ordered him out of the car. Jones fled on foot, fell in a nearby dirt lot, and was caught by the officer after a short chase. A struggle ensued and one officer tasered Jones multiple times; a second officer arrived and also deployed a Taser. Jones was handcuffed and shortly afterward stopped breathing.

The Clark County Coroner listed cause of death as cocaine and ethanol intoxication, and cited police restraint procedures and an enlarged heart as contributing factors. Jones was a registered sex offender on parole at the time. The Clark County District Attorney later declined to file criminal charges against the officers, a decision criticized by some because of the number of times the Taser was used. No arrests were made.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember the stop or the dirt lot where Jones fell who can add details about what happened that night?
