(KRON) — A man is dead and the actions of several Hayward Police Department officers are under investigation after officers fired multiple Taser guns at a burglary suspect on the 100 block of Virginia Street shortly after 4 a.m. on March 12.
The suspect, 42-year-old Nathan Hoang, was allegedly seen wielding a screwdriver and ran from police before officers tased and arrested him. While receiving care from paramedics at the scene, Hoang went into cardiac arrest. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, where he died nine days later.
“Hoang was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition,” HPD said. “He was later transferred to another facility, where his condition worsened.”
