El Paso investigators are looking into what they call an "in-custody" death on Monday morning in Northeast El Paso.

Officials say police responded to a welfare check on 36-year-old hispanic man on the 5800 block of Dyer, at the 7-11 right by the Walmart.

A spokesman with El Paso Police says the man became aggressive with officers and they were forced to use a taser.

“They located an individual that seemed intoxicated or just off a bit. That person become combat a struggle began at that point. Taser deployed and officers took custody at that point” says El Paso Public Information Officer Adrian Cisneros.

Officials also say the person was unresponsive while in custody.

Emergency services were on the scene and provided CPR before he was transported to the hospital, where he later died.

Police say the four officers that were involved have been placed on paid leave as part of the investigation.
