Johnson-Carson&#8217;s attorney, Craig Robert Johnson, said in an email to The Associated Press that the sentence was appropriate given that Johnson-Carson was trying to protect hotel guests and staff and never intended to seriously injure Mitchell.<\/p>\n<p>According to investigators, Mitchell ran into the Hyatt&#8217;s lobby and went into the women&#8217;s bathroom. Two women later told detectives that Mitchell tried to lock them in the bathroom. The women told police that Mitchell had entered the bathroom frantically, seemingly to run from the security guard, and appeared to be trying to lock the bathroom door to keep the guard out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Turner pulled Mitchell out of the bathroom and together with a guest dragged him out of the lobby onto a hotel driveway. Turner, Erickson, Williamson and Johnson-Carson struggled with Mitchell before taking him to the ground and piling on top of him.<\/p>\n<p>Hotel surveillance video shows Johnson-Carson holding Mitchell&#8217;s legs while Erickson, Turner and Williamson held down his upper body. They kept him pinned for eight to nine minutes. By the time emergency responders arrived, Mitchell had stopped breathing.<\/p>\n<p>A medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, finding that Mitchell&#8217;s immediate cause of death was suffocation and toxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors initially charged\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/dvontaye-mitchell-death-hyatt-regency-milwaukee-security-guards\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">all four employees<\/a><\/span>\u00a0with being a party to felony murder. Turner and Erickson both pleaded guilty to that count. Williamson and Johnson-Carson pleaded guilty to a reduced count of misdemeanor battery.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys for Mitchell&#8217;s family likened his death to the murder of Floyd, a Black man who died after a White Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for about nine minutes. Floyd&#8217;s death sparked a national reckoning on racial relations.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that D&#8217;Vontaye was held face down on the pavement for eight to nine minutes \u2013\u2013 just like George Floyd \u2013\u2013 is a sobering reminder of the urgent need for accountability and justice,&#8221; family attorney Benjamin Crump said after the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mitchell was Black. Court records identify Erickson as White and Turner, Williamson and Johnson-Carson as Black.<\/p>\n<p>The workers told investigators that Mitchell was strong and tried to bite Erickson, but they didn&#8217;t mean to hurt him.
