McClain was unarmed when he was stopped Aug. 24, 2019, by officers responding to a report of a suspicious person wearing a ski mask and waving his arms. He was carrying a plastic bag with three cans of iced tea in his left hand and his phone in his right hand. He was listening to music on headphones and didn’t initially respond when officers called to him.
