More details emerge in the brutal beating of a mentally ill man by former Dallas paramedic Brad Cox.
Brad Cox apparently had red marks and swelling on his face caused by Kyle Vess. Another member of Dallas Fire-Rescue suggests Cox caused the marks himself. Brad Cox was fired from the department in 2021, two years after he responded to a call for a grass fire and kicked Kyle Vess, a mentally ill man, several times as the man lay on the ground.
All of this was captured by police body camera footage and a nearby surveillance camera. But none of it would see the light of day until some two years later, despite pubic integrity complaints filed against Cox's use of force. By the time the investigation was reopened, the statute of limitations on charges of assault or official oppression had expired. District Attorney John Creuzot made note of this as well after dropping charges against Vess for assaulting a public servant. But, Vess’ family and attorney insisted charges could still be filed for injury to a disabled person, which carries a longer statute of limitations.
But Ramirez told DPD he didn’t see Vess strike Cox with the PVC pipe. Cotrell told DPD that Cox suggested he made the marks on his face himself, not Vess. The new investigation goes with Allen’s interpretation, saying that after police arrived, Cox stood over Vess and ordered him not to get up again. That’s when Vess started to sit up and “driver Cox kicked at Complainant Vess,” the investigative report says. “Complainant Vess raised his right arm to block the kick. The kick struck complainant Vess’ right forearm which then struck the right side of his face.
Recalling Vess’ throw of the PVC pipe, Ramirez told DPD: [Vess] throws it. He throws the thing. Well, good thing. … Brad’s like ‘Alright, I’m just going to weave this.’ He weaved it, goes past his left side.”
