The Democratic State Senator has questions to the Joliete police after death in the customer-Shaw Local

A senator of the democratic state said on Thursday that a death in Joliet in Joliet in Joliet had left “more questions than answers” in Joliet, and she plans to meet with police officers about the incident.

The Senator Rachel Ventura, D-Joliet, published an explanation of the video by Joliet Police Officers, who replied to a 911 call on December 25, 2024 by David Malito, 39, who claimed someone who was armed with a weapon.

“Mr. Malito clearly had a reaction to a substance during the arrest time. But in the end we see a man with his face down on the floor and tried to breathe while an officer kneels in his back and neck area and I have more questions than answers,” said Ventura.

The paramedics were sent to the petrol station, where the incident took place on December 25th at 4:36 a.m.

Until then, the officials Malito gave an anti-overdose medication called Narcan. Malito gave paramedics more Narcan, delivered HLW and other DRARTMENT.

According to a report by Will County County Coroner's Coron office, Malito arrived at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet at 4:53 a.m.

Malito was declared dead in the hospital at 5:14 a.m.

Malito died of cocaine poisoning according to a report by a forensic pathologist. The report was instructed that Malito had an enlarged heart and brain swelling.

According to the pathologist's report, Malito's autopsy did not find any “bleeding in the belt muscles of the neck”.

Malito had shit on his right elbow, the left wrist and knees.

The three officers who answered in Malitos 911 call tried to get control of him when he was unpredictable and screamed: “Please don't kill me!” After the video of the incident.

When Malito continued and moved, the officials tried to put him in handcuffs according to the video.

During the fight, Malito fell to the ground with one of the officers, who then put his knee on Malito's upper back area when he was tied up with handcuffs.

When the officer noticed that Malito became “purple”, he was turned over and the officers provided Narcan. Malito's handcuffs were removed when paramedics arrived.

The public prosecutor checked the investigation of the incident by the Task Force of Will-Grundy Major Crimes and found that none of the officials died about Malito, according to Kevin McQuaid, the task force director.

The Malito incident undertook an administrative review of a committee of the Joliet Police Department.

The members of the committee were appointed by the Joliet Police Center Bill Evans to “determine the appropriateness of guidelines, rules, training and equipment of the department,” said Sgt. Dwayne English.

“Preliminary findings showed that the officials were operated within the current guidelines and training courses,” said English.

The administrative review was in addition to the examination of the Task Force, said English.

In Ventura's explanation on Thursday, she said that “there must be better opportunities to deal with these situations”.

“As a local senator, I am striving to find resources and identify additional or alternative training courses in order to never see one of these videos again and to restore the public's trust in our police department,” said Ventura.

Ventura said she planned to meet the police department next week.

The police authority “does not check any changes to overdose incidents,” said English.

“It is important to point out that the officials were initially sent to a complaint regarded by a complaint, and only after observations by civil servants did they find that Mr. Malito seemed to be under the influence of an unknown substance due to his unpredictable behavior and his statements,” said English.

The officials had no way of knowing which substance had affected Malito, and they administered Narcan to reverse the effects of an obvious overdose, said English.
