A host of local and national organizations demanded the firing and prosecution of Phoenix police officers involved in the death of Muhammad Muhaymin Jr. in 2017. They also claimed that the officers mocked Muhaymin s religion Islam shortly before he died; a spokesperson for the Phoenix Police Department disputed this characterization. Muhaymin was killed as officers tried to arrest him for having an outstanding warrant for not showing up to court over a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia charge. Multiple cops held him down and put knees on his head and neck. He said, I can t breathe, according to bodycam footage, before he died in a pool of his own vomit. The Maricopa County Attorney s Office had previously cleared the involved officers of any criminal wrongdoing, but the organizations demanded that a new special prosecutor be appointed to investigate the incident. Meanwhile, Muhaymin s family is suing.
