Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) –A multi-agency task force is now investigating the death of a man who suffered a serious medical episode after he was taken into custody by APD officers on Monday. APD received a 9 1 1 call about a man, identified as Dyonte Lindsey, who was possibly having hallucinations and walking and running in lanes of traffic on I-40 between Coors and Unser. As officers approached they discovered Lindsey was armed with a knife. He ignored commands to drop the knife and walked back into traffic lanes. At that point an officer deployed his taser. Lindsey was taken into custody, transported to a hospital and died two days later. Evidence from the investigation will be forwarded to the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office to determine if charges will be filed.
