A promising teenage artist who had been recognized by Congress for his work has died after police Tasered him for allegedly spraying graffiti on a wall.
Israel Hernandez-Llach, 18, had sprayed an 'R' - the first letter of his artist name, Reefa - on an abandoned building when police spotted him and gave chase in Miami, Florida at 5am on Tuesday.
After officers followed him over fences and down alleys, the teen ran towards them and, fearing they would sustain injuries, officers Tasered the youth to the ground, Police Chief Ray Martinez said.
'The officers were forced to use the Taser to avoid a physical incident,' the chief said.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
