The death of an unarmed black man in police custody has received renewed attention after the death of George Floyd sparked anti-racism protests around the world.
Elijah McClain 23, died three days after he was put in a chokehold and sedated by Aurora police after someone reported him for looking "sketchy" because he was wearing a ski mask.
A petition demanding justice for the young black man from Colorado has now been signed by more than three million people.
The petition, which calls for a more thorough investigation of Elijah, comes after the death of George Floyd who also died in police custody.
Here we look at what we know about Elijah's story so far.
Who was Elijah McClain?
Elijah worked as a massage therapist and his family's lawyer, Mari Newman, has shared how he enjoyed playing his violin to animals at a shelter that were waiting to be adopted.
The 23-year-old's mother, Sheneen McClain said on a fundraising page that Elijah "brought joy to everyone who met him".
"The world is a darker place without him", she wrote.
Ms McClain added that Elijah enjoyed running, drawing and he used his musical skills to teach himself how to play the piano, guitar, cello and violin.
What happened to Elijah McClain?
Mr McClain was not armed or suspected of committing a crime when he was stopped on his way home from a convenience store and pinned to the ground by officers on August 24, 2019, where he reportedly started to vomit and sob while handcuffed.
In body-worn footage later released, Mr McClain can be heard telling officers: "Let me go. I am an introvert, please respect my boundaries that I am speaking."
He was then injected with 500 milligrams of ketamine to sedate him.
According to Mr McClain's family, he was anaemic and wore a ski mask to keep his face warm while he was walking.
In October his family called for an independent investigation and for the officers involved in his arrest to be charged with murder.
Adams Country District Attorney Dave Young concluded in a report published in November that the police involved would not be charged.
He said: "Based on the investigation presented and the applicable Colorado law, there is no reasonable likelihood of success of proving any state crimes beyond a reasonable doubt at trial."
The Adam’s County Coroner’s Office could not determine the exact cause of Mr McClain’s death.
The officers involved were placed on administrative leave, but have reportedly been reinstated.
What is the latest update?
Governor Jared Polis has said the circumstances of Elijah's death will be re-examined.
He announced on Twitter yesterday that he has signed an executive order designating Attorney General Phil Weiser to investigate the 23-year-old's death.
If the facts support prosecution, Governor Polis said the Attorney General will "criminally prosecute any individuals whose actions caused the death of Elijah McClain".
"Elijah McClain should be alive today, and we owe it to his family to take his step and elevate the pursuit of justice in his name to a statewide concern," said Governor Polis.
"Now more than ever, we must do everything within our power to foster public trust and confidence in law enforcement and the criminal justice system.
"As a father, my heart breaks for the McClain family. All Coloradans should be safe walking home from the convenience store, or just being in their own neighbourhoods listening to headphones.
"We need to do a better job, and at a bare minimum they deserve a thorough review of the case."
