When Sandra Green saw her brother alive for the last time, he was handcuffed and passed into a coma on a hospital bed in the United District Health Care System.

According to reports of his death, prison guards repeatedly shocked the 64-year-old man with a Taser, shot him with a pepper ball, and pressed him on his stomach for an unknown period of time.

Quantrell Xavier Hutchinson died under the custody of the Wichita County Sheriff's Department on February 24, 2017, and a forensic doctor later ruled that it was a homicide. 

"That hurt my mother," James Sherman Dickerson, 42 from Wichita Falls, said Friday.

When they went to find a suit for Hutchinson's funeral, Sandra Green told her son that she was left with him and his father.

Although the death occurred more than four years ago, county law enforcement officials only provided detailed information to the media this year at the request of Times Record News.

Hutchinson's family does not believe that Sandra Green, who died on October 15, 2019, knew that her brother's death was determined to be murder. This kind of thinking is disturbing. 

"They're sorry these bastards, because I think she doesn't know anything about it," said James Earl Green Sr., a 64-year-old Wichitan from her 41-year-old husband. "They didn't even tell her anything."

Dixon said: "We don't even know. We didn't get this. It's crazy." 

Hutchinson’s death certificate may list the method of homicide as his method of death, although it is unclear whether his sister saw the death certificate. 

As Sandra Green is employed by Aramark in the prison kitchen, the situation becomes more complicated. If she gets into trouble because of Hutchinson's death, she is afraid of retaliation.

"It's really sad," said James Green Sr., who has more than 40 years of experience as a welder.

Dixon said that James and Sandra Green had many conversations about what to do.

"They said if they were to resist, she would be fired," Dixon said.

"After all, people got bills. So my mother was like,'The truth will come to light. She will only leave it to God." 

About a day after Hutchinson was imprisoned for theft, retaliation and criminal trespass on February 12, 2017, he received life support in the hospital. 

According to a revised report of deaths in custody submitted to the Texas Attorney General's Office, Hutchinson had a dispute with officials attached to the Wichita County Jail.

According to the death report originally submitted by the Sheriff’s Department on March 23, 2017, just afterward, the police officer discovered that Hutchinson was unresponsive in his separate cell. 

According to the death report, prison nurses took life-saving measures, and Hutchinson was taken to the emergency room of the United District's health care system. 

He was then put on life support equipment

He was declared dead at 11:09 am on February 24, 2017 after the life support system was disconnected. 

According to an autopsy report conducted on February 27, 2017, investigation information indicated that Hutchinson fought with detainees for 30 minutes before becoming unresponsive and was admitted to the hospital on February 13, 2017. 

An autopsy report obtained by the Dallas Southwest Institute of Forensic Medicine through a public record request stated that Hutchinson died of a brain injury that began with insufficient blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest.

Medical examiner Dr. Candace Schoppe pointed out that the causes of cardiac arrest have a fatal combination: Hutchinson’s cocaine ingestion and mental illness, as well as the pressure on his body caused by disputes with detainees, detention The personnel restricted him to a prone position. According to the autopsy report, the unknown time was the cause of his death.

According to the autopsy report, Hutchinson's drug use caused "excitatory delirium." 

Wichita County Sheriff David Duke provided a written statement from the Community Services Department of the Sheriff’s Office on May 25. He declined to comment further.

The District Attorney John Gillespie pointed out that the homicide case was submitted to a grand jury in June 2018 and was managed by the former District Attorney.

A statement from the sheriff's office described the events that led to Hutchinson's death and outlined the subsequent actions taken by the officials.

The statement stated that evidence of his death was submitted to the Wichita County Grand Jury in June 2018, which refused to prosecute anyone involved in the matter.

The statement stated that submitting the case to a grand jury followed the county's standard practice for cases involving deaths caused by the use of force by jailers and law enforcement personnel. 

The statement called Hutchinson "aggressive" and exhibited "belligerent behavior" and "aggressive behavior." 

The statement stated that he refused to comply with the demands of the detainees and their attempts to mitigate their actions. 

The death report during custody stated that the method of death was homicide, including legitimate homicide, and that the death was caused by law enforcement personnel and/or correctional personnel. 

The statement from the sheriff's office did not mention that the prone position of the police crossing Hutchinson's legs and pushing his hips constrained an unknown time, as stated in the autopsy. 

A statement from the sheriff’s office said: “Hutchinson began to encounter a medical emergency and fell on the floor of his cell.”

The death report in custody did not mention the collapse. It pointed out that Hutchinson, who was still resisting, was placed in his bunk. 

 According to the autopsy report, he was injured in a fight with detainees who used liquid pepper spray, powdered air gun pellets and stun guns.

According to reports of deaths in custody, Hutchinson used a pepper ball launcher during the argument. 

According to the autopsy report, the detainees also deployed Taser detectors in Hutchinson and gave five electric shocks. 

In addition, according to the autopsy results, they also carried out a driving electric shock, which caused a bruise on the left side of his back.

During the driving stun electric shock, a police officer activated the Taser and made painful contact with the human body to induce obedience. 

Schoppe found abrasions and injuries to the handcuffs on Hutchinson's wrists and an ankle injury, although the use of ankle restraints was not documented.

She attributed the injuries to the quarrel with the detainees. 

The medical examiner also determined that Hutchinson's muscle tissue died due to a dispute with the correctional officer. 

This disease, called rhabdomyolysis, can cause serious complications, such as kidney failure. 

The autopsy results showed that Hutchinson not only suffered from acute brain injury, but also suffered from multiple organ failure and acute pneumonia. 

According to the autopsy, it is not clear how he suffered injuries, such as neck bruises and bleeding from the neck and back muscles. 

The quarrel before Hutchinson's death occurred on February 13 or February 14, 2017, depending on the source of the source. 

The statement and public death report during custody did not list the name of the detainee who had a dispute with Hutchinson, and the autopsy cited the cause of his death.

The Sheriff’s Office did not respond to a request on Friday, November 5, to provide information on whether the detainees were still working in the prison, and if not, how they left their jobs in the county.

The Sheriff’s Office also did not respond to questions about whether the agency changed prison procedures or provided additional training to detainees in response to Hutchinson’s death.

The Sheriff’s Office did not answer the question on Tuesday, November 9 whether they notified Hutchinson’s family that the death was convicted of homicide.

The death report during custody gave this description: On February 14, 2017, when a police officer saw Hutchinson being held in a separate cell, he had soaked his bedding in the shower. 

When the police officer asked, Hutchinson passed his bedding from the food pass. The police officer ordered Hutchinson to sit on his bunk so that he could change the mattress. 

According to reports, when the door was opened, Hutchinson tried to escape the cell. The door was locked and more police arrived.

They ordered Hutchinson to reach into the food aisle so they could handcuff him before opening the door again to get the mattress. 

Hutchinson reached into the food trough and put on a handcuff. Then he began to retract his hands.

After a struggle to maintain control of Hutchinson's handcuffed, a police officer used pepper spray to make him obey. 

Hutchinson allowed him to pull his hands through the food pass slot, and it was secured. More officers arrived with pepper ball launchers and taser guns.

Hutchinson sat in his bunk. The police entered his cell and tried to handcuff him when he resisted. 

A pepper ball launcher was used and two balls hit Hutchinson, but did not cause him to obey.

Hutchinson continued to struggle when he was transferred to a separate cell for decontamination.

An officer deployed the Taser after clearly seeing Hutchinson's back. Hutchinson continued to resist the police when he was moved. 

The taser was activated in the corridor between the cells. Once Hutchinson entered another cell, the officer used the taser again.

Hutchinson was still resisting and was placed on the bunk of the cell. The handcuffs were released and the policeman walked out of the cell.

They checked each other for injuries, and then checked Hutchinson through the observation window. 

The officials noticed that he did not move. They knocked on the door and yelled at him. They opened the door and found that Hutchinson was unresponsive.

An officer found the pulse. The nursing staff in the prison received the alert and responded. Emergency medical services were also notified. 

Nursing staff tried to use smelling salts and rubbing the breastbone to get Hutchinson's response, but it was unsuccessful. 

Hutchinson was then connected to an automatic external defibrillator, which would not deliver electric shocks. This device encourages people to use chest compressions.

Chest compressions and another device to help Hutchinson breathe began and continued until emergency personnel arrived. Hutchinson was taken to the Union area. 

The statement stated that after his death, the Sheriff’s Office conducted an internal review of the incident, prison policies, procedures and staff.

In addition, according to the statement, Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Colonel Salome Lopez conducted an independent review of prison policies and procedures, prison staff, and operations involving Hutchinson. 

The statement stated that Lopez has extensive knowledge, training and experience as a jailer and commander of the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Detention Response Team. 

According to the statement, her professional opinion is that any sane official will deal with this situation in a similar way.

"This is also my professional opinion. In order to maintain the safety of the facility, the officials used the force required to regain control of the situation, called reasonable force, and acted in good faith to maintain and restore the order," Lopez said in the statement. 

Dixon described his uncle as cool and outgoing.

 "He is a good man," Dixon said. "But everyone experiences things in life, do you hear what I say?"

James Green Sr. said he knew his brother-in-law well.

"He has always been naughty," he said. "He is a good person, but you know that if you drink and get drunk, you know, everyone will become ignorant."

Hutchinson is no stranger to legal troubles. 

According to publicdata.com and the county's online system, his conviction dates back to the 1970s. They include felony possession of drugs and serious robbery.

After an exhaustive search of the county’s online system, most of the convictions were misdemeanors, including indecent exposure, criminal intrusion, and failure to identify identity. 

Schoppe recorded the history of Hutchinson's mental illness, which was reported to be schizophrenia. 

According to the obituary, Hutchinson’s family recalled when he graduated from Wichita Falls High School in 1971, he liked fishing, playing billiards and spending time at the Martin Luther King Center.  

According to the obituary, he spent a short time in the army and was a member of the Church of the Great Miracle.
