              Man dies after police Taser him
Saturday, January 12th, 2008 BY DAVID OVALLE A man in his 20s died after a Coral Gables police officer used a Taser stun gun to subdue him Friday morning. He was identified Friday afternoon as Xavier Jones, 29. Jones had been disruptive at a party and resisted arrest, according to Miami-Dade police, whose homicide bureau is investigating the death. About 2 a.m., police officers responded to a call about a scuffle at University Inn Condominium, 1280 S. Alahambra Cir., near the University of Miami. The building is across the street from the university and borders on U.S. 1. After the man became disruptive inside the apartment, a security guard attempted to remove him from the property. The confrontation spilled outside. Miami-Dade police said Jones displayed ”aggressive and combative behavior” so a police officer used a Taser stun gun to restrain him. After the discharge, Jones became unresponsive, and paramedics took him to Doctor’s Hospital in Coral Gables, where he was pronounced dead. The investigation by Coral Gables and Miami-Dade police closed an area of U.S. 1 between Red Road and South Alhambra Circle until 7 a.m. A cause of death will be determined by the Miami-Dade medical examiner’s office.
