At about 2129 hours, on Monday, May 2, 2016, Marin County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a 911 call from the residence of Afeni Shakur-Davis, reporting she was in need of emergency medical attention. The subject reportedly had physical complaints, medical in nature, just prior to becoming unresponsive. A family member and a close family friend of the subject were both present when this event occurred. Paramedics arrived on scene at 2134 hours, at which time bystander CPR was already in progress. Paramedics initiated advanced cardiac life support measures (ACLS) on scene and transported the subject to the Emergency Department at Marin General Hospital, arriving at 2216 hours.
