Family files lawsuit against police after man suffocated in custody
The family of 49-year-old Arben Pilici has filed a lawsuit against the DeKalb County Police Department, alleging that a welfare check by department tragically escalated into a fatal encounter in 2024. The legal action claims that an officer pinned Pilici to the ground with a chokehold for over eight minutes before placing him face-down and unresponsive in a patrol car, where he ultimately suffocated to death.
