Eric Baker’s Death: Family Awaits Answers | Phoenix News

Eric Baker, 52, died in Mesa Police custody after being detained for riding his bike without a light and having outstanding warrants — but cellphone footage shows officers slamming him to the ground while he screams for help. His daughter Charlee, frustrated by the three-month delay in the autopsy report, accuses the department of ignoring the gravity of the incident. Attorney Benjamin Taylor, familiar with Mesa PD cases, says the video is damning and urges the department to release body cam footage and internal reports faster — all while the family waits, holding out hope for justice without having filed any legal claims yet.
