"In the days and weeks before his death, members of the MSP training academy committed a series of "wanton and reckless acts" in connection with various defensive tactics and physical confrontation training exercises, Meier said. This conduct included both "affirmative acts by academy staff" and the failure to take other actions that they had a legal duty to perform. This conduct resulted in Delgado-Garcia suffering concussion-like symptoms on Sept. 11, 2024, from "unauthorized, unapproved, and unsupervised boxing-related sparring exercises," Meier said."
