The medical examiner said Sinth Khottavongsa, 57, died just two days after police used a Taser on him.
Brooklyn Center Police responded to a call of a group of people fighting in a parking lot in the 5800 block of Xerxes Avenue on Jan. 16. They say that’s where they saw Sinth holding a crow bar “in a threatening manner.”
