Canton Officers Charged in Frank Tyson's Death
Two Canton police officers, Beau Schoenegge and Camden Burch, have been charged with reckless homicide in the death of Frank Tyson, a 53-year-old Black man, following an incident on April 18 in Canton, Ohio. The charges, which are third-degree felonies, stem from a struggle in which Tyson was handcuffed and left face down, repeatedly stating he could not breathe, before losing consciousness and dying. Stark County Prosecutor Kyle Stone announced the indictments after a grand jury decision, with potential penalties including up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Tyson's death was ruled a homicide with contributing factors such as intoxication and a heart condition. Tyson's family, represented by attorney Bobby DiCello, expressed relief at the charges but noted the bittersweet recognition of Tyson as a victim. The case has drawn attention from civil rights activists and sparked protests, highlighting ongoing concerns about policing practices.
