Colorado police officers fired for recreating chokehold in photos at Elijah McClain memorial

The Colorado police officers who took disturbing photos at the memorial site where Elijah McClain was placed in a police chokehold and later died have all been terminated from the Aurora Police Department, interim police chief Vanessa Wilson announced Friday.

Four officers were involved in the incident. Officer Jaron Jones resigned earlier this week.

Wilson announced Friday that the remaining officers involved -- Erica Marrero, Kyle Dittrich and Jason Rosenblatt -- have all been fired.

Rosenblatt did not appear in the photos, but was terminated after he responded "haha" when he was texted the images. He also did not report them. Rosenblatt was the only officer involved in the photos who actually responded to the arrest that ended up in McClain's death.
