Three staff members at a youth facility in Kalamazoo, Michigan, have been charged in the death of a black teenager who died days after being restrained for throwing a sandwich, a county prosecutor announced Wednesday. The decision comes after the county medical examiner ruled the death of 16-year-old Cornelius Frederick a homicide by a result of "restraint asphyxia."

The three Lakeside Academy staff members — Michael Mosley, Zachary Solis, Heather McLogan — were charged with involuntary manslaughter and second-degree child abuse. According to the charging documents, Mosley and Solis are accused of restraining Frederick in a "grossly negligent manner." McLogan, who was a nurse at the facility, is accused of failing to seek timely medical care for the teen.

"It's been two months," prosecutor Jeff Getting told reporters Wednesday. "We needed to make sure that we assess the case and responsibility and took action as soon as possible against those we felt were most responsible. We'll continue to look at others in the future."
