Florida teen Israel Hernandez Llach dies after being shocked by police
Miami Beach police say an 18-year-old died after being shocked with a stun gun as he resisted arrest for spraying graffiti.
Chief Ray Martinez told the Miami Herald (hrld.us/19bL8Wz ) that officers spotted Israel Heandez-Llach painting graffiti on an abandoned fast-food restaurant early Tuesday. Martinez said the teen ran, but was eventually coered. He said Heandez-Llach then ran at the officers and one shot him with a Taser in the chest. The teen went into medical duress and died at a hospital.
The teen's friends told the Herald that Heandez-Llach was originally from Colombia. His teachers at Miami Beach High School said he was a talented artist and photographer.
