Chavez-Silver was at a house party when somebody drove up to the house and fired six shots, striking him. When a friend called the cops for help, Matthew Sanchez, the dispatcher hung up on her and left her friend to die. According to KOB4 the conversation went as follows:
Caller: (inaudible) I’m keeping him alive.
Sanchez: Is he not breathing?
Caller: Barely. (inaudible) Stay with me. Stay with me, ok. Good job Jaydon.
Sanchez: Is he breathing?
Caller: He’s barely breathing. How many times do I have to f—ing tell you?
Sanchez: Ok, do you what ma’am? You can deal with yourself. I’m not going to deal with this, ok.
Caller: No, he’s going to die.
The call ends there.
[…]“After learning of the alleged misconduct, Driver Matthew Sanchez was immediately removed from the dispatch center and placed on administrative assignment. An internal investigation has been initiated. As the Chief of the department, I am taking the allegation very seriously,” said AFD Chief David Downey.
While the fire department was dispatched before Sanchez hung up, Chavez-Silver was still pronounced dead at the hospital.
