Speaker 2: genetic genealogy, a process that compares unidentified DNA to family

30
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: death of DeVante Mitchell has been apprehended more than five

31
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: weeks after the fatal incident at a Milwaukee hotel. For

32
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 3: the latest, returned to Sydney Sumner of Crime Online.

33
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: Herbert Williamson, a bellhop at the Milwaukee Hyatt Regency, was

34
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: taken into custody just three days after he and three

35
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: others were formally charged with felony murder. The charges stem

36
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: from an incident on June thirtieth, when Mitchell, a thirty

37
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: one year old black man, was forcibly removed from the

38
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: hotel lobby by Williamson and his co defendants. Prosecutors alleged

39
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: that hotel security guard Todd Ericson front desk worker Devin

40
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: Johnson Carson, and another security guard, Brandon Turner, joined Williamson

41
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 2: in restraining Mitchell. Surveillance footage reportedly shows the men piling

42
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: on top of Mitchell as they attempted to remove him

43
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 2: from the premises. Mitchell died shortly thereafter. According to the

44
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: criminal complaint, Mitchell had entered the hotel and sought refuge

45
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: in a women's restroom. It was there that he was

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: confronted by hotel staf The situation escalated as employees dragged

47
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: him outside, ultimately restraining him on the ground for eight

48
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: to nine minutes. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office later

49
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: determined that Mitchell died from restraint asphyxia, indicating that he

50
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: struggled to breathe while being held down. The autopsy also

51
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: revealed that Mitchell had ingested cocaine and methamphetamine prior to

52
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: the incident, and noted that his obesity was a contributing factor. However,

53
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: the examiner concluded that Mitchell might have survived have the

54
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 2: staff allowed him to reposition himself. Ambridge Hospitality, the management

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: company overseeing the hotel, has since terminated several employees involved

56
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: in the incident.

57
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: If convicted, Williamson and his co defendants face up to

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: fifteen years and nine months in prison.

59

66
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: of Chantelle's route to school turn up nothing. Several reported

67
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: sightings turn out to be misidentifications. Chantelle's social security number

68
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: no activity, and extensive driver's license searches don't provide any leads.
