A D.C. teacher died in California hours after police stunned him several times with a taser. Keenan Anderson, 31, of D.C., died on Jan. 3, according to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michel Moore. He said Anderson passed away in a hospital a few hours after multiple LAPD officers tried to take him into custody at the site of a traffic accident. Anderson, who worked as a teacher at the Digital Pioneers Academy in Southeast D.C., was in Los Angeles to visit family, according to the school. Moore said, in two days, three people, including Anderson, died during LAPD use-of-force incidents in Los Angeles. The chief said, during a press conference, Wednesday, his officers encountered Anderson at a busy Los Angeles intersection after a person claimed he had committed a hit-and-run with his car. “The victim of that attempted crime would later tell officers that she believed Mr. Anderson was trying to steal her car,” Moore said. He said officers then requested back-up at the scene because they believed Anderson was acting erratically. Moore said Anderson eventually tried to resist officers’ attempts to take him into custody. “The officers struggled on the ground with Mr. Anderson for several minutes,” he said. “Utilizing physical force and a taser device to help overcome his resistance.” READ MORE: https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/local/dc-teacher-dies-after-lapd-tases-him-multiple-times-during-arrest/65-bff72d1d-90f2-4b3a-8b2d-a0a65b393391
