Suspect dies while being subdued by Colorado Springs police officers

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A deadly force investigation is underway after a suspect died Sunday while being subdued by Colorado Springs police officers.

In a press briefing Sunday, Lieutenant Sokolik with CSPD said the El Paso County Sheriff's Office will be investigating a fatal incident involving five officers.

The sheriff's office tells us a suspect died while being subdued after an altercation between two neighbors. Police were called to the 2700 block of Ash Grove Street just before 10 a.m. when one person brandished a knife.

Officers tried to arrest the suspect but he began to struggle with an officer. That's when the officer deployed his taser, but it was ineffective and the suspect kept struggling. The officers were able to subdue him and the suspect then went limp. Despite CPR and life-saving efforts, the suspect died.

The cause of death will be determined by the coroner's office. The five officers involved are on routine administrative leave.

The Deadly Force Investigations Team will continue to investigate.
