After a several-day delay due to health concerns, testimony resumed Monday in the trial for two Aurora paramedics charged in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain. Peter Cichuniec and Jeremy Cooper are each charged with reckless manslaughter and assault. Officers first contacted McClain on Aug. 24, 2019, after a teenage boy called 911 and relayed that he saw McClain wearing a coat and mask and acting "suspicious." Within seconds, Nathan Woodyard, the first officer to arrive, grabbed McClain. He and officers Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt then took McClain to the ground in a struggle. During the struggle, Woodyard used a carotid hold on McClain, a maneuver that caused him to lose consciousness briefly.

His heart stopped, and he later died.
