he was wearing. Deputies scoured the area in an attempt to locate Shannon. He was found
nearby, close to S. Bea Ave., lying on the ground near a fence. Deputies later determined
that he was wearing the clothing described by the victim from the hospital. The report stated
that Shannon was unresponsive, so a deputy kicked his right leg, to gain a response, and
