Body cam footage captures moments before man who took large amount of meth dies in custody

On Jan. 31, police responded to Hawk Shadow Avenue, near Russell Road and Tenaya Way, after a man called 911 and said his friend was trying to kill himself.

"Mr. Baxter had taken a large amount of narcotics, presumably meth, in an attempt to take his own life," said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Brett Jones.

When officers and paramedics arrived, they say 37-year-old David Baxter was shaking uncontrollably, sweating, and acting erratically.
