TUCSON (KVOA) - A Tucson man is dead one week after he suffered a "cardiac event" while being treated at the hospital for injuries sustained in a confrontation with local law enforcement last week.

According to City of Tucson, 34-year-old Jaime Herrera was reportedly found on the roof of a home in the 5700 block of East Fairmount Street near Craycroft Road in reference to a report about an armed man who had "consumed a drink that made him trip out."

City officials claim Herrera was armed with two knives.

When TPD attempted to make contact with the 34-year-old, he reportedly shouted threats at the officers and threw a brick at one.

After Crisis Intervention Training officers were dispatched to the scene, Herrera reportedly began running on the rooftop with a knife and brick in his hands.

Despite efforts to de-escalate the situation, Herrera reportedly fell from a tree near the roof armed with a knife. One of the officers then deployed his taser at the 34-year-old, prompting a fight to ensue between Herrera and the officers.

According to officials, Herrera allegedly bit down on the thumb of one of the officers during the altercation.

After getting the 34-year-old in handcuffs, Tucson Fire Department medics placed a "bio guard" on his head as Herrera appeared to be losing consciousness.

«The abuse of authority is clear but who can against authority? They have the Power and whoever confronts the authority dies because of their exalted ego. Gods are believed. They have no humility. They don't care about human beings but about their damn pride. It's the only thing that matters to them.»
