The Douglas County Attorney will hold a press conference Wednesday morning to announce his findings about the death of Zachary Bearheels.

Last month, Bearheels died after police say officers shocked him a dozen times with a taser and dragged him by the hair while responding to a disturbance near 60th and Center.

Last Thursday, 3 News Now learned Officers Scotty Payne and Ryan McLarty are no longer employed by the city.
