Overview 
Alameda County Sheriff's deputies used a full-body restraint device and a spit mask on an inmate they were escorting to the outpatient housing unit in Santa Rita Jail last year, which caused his death by asphyxiation, according to a report by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office clearing the deputies of criminal charges.
The district attorney's investigation into the death of Dujuan Armstrong was concluded on June 24, one year and one day after Armstrong died on June 23, 2018. The report provides the first detailed account of how Armstrong died after his family has spent a year trying to get answers from the sheriff's office. Armstrong's mother Barbara Doss even confronted Sheriff Gregory Ahern in Sacramento in January.
