A July 4th domestic violence call in El Mirage turned fatal when 35-year-old Peter Patin Jr. died after police used Tasers on him. Officers said he was the aggressor, and Tasers were deployed to gain control. After being cuffed, Patin reportedly kicked at officers, prompting fire crews to respond. He lost consciousness shortly after their arrival and later died despite medical attention. The exact number of Taser uses and duration remain undisclosed. The Peoria Police Department leads the investigation, part of a broader task force reviewing serious officer-involved incidents. The identities of the other two people in the call and any injuries they may have sustained are still unknown. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
