00:00Around 2.30 yesterday afternoon we were alerted through a social media post by NT police that
00:08there was an incident unfolding here behind us at this supermarket and we arrived on the
00:13scene to the store shuttered up as it is now and we could see through the back glass that
00:19there were police walking through the aisles and security weren't letting anyone in so we
00:26spoke to eyewitnesses who said that they had seen what seemed like police taking a man down and that
00:33he was lying in the aisle before CPR was performed and police later told us that a 24 year old
00:42Aboriginal man had died after being restrained and what police are saying is that he was putting
00:50items down the front of his clothing when he was confronted by security and there was an
00:58altercation and at this point two plain clothes officers got involved and restrained the young
01:04man and he stopped breathing they're saying they performed CPR before taking him to the Alice Springs
01:12Hospital where he was declared dead around 2.30 yesterday afternoon which is when we found out
01:19through that social media post by NT police that there had been an incident here police are treating
01:26this as a death in custody and they're preparing a report for the coroner and there'll be a pathologist

01:44outrage and shock in the community we also spoke to Tabitha lean and Debbie Kilroy well-known figures from the network of formerly incarcerated women and girls
