PHOENIX — Ronald Marquez screamed as he performed an exorcism on his 3-year-old granddaughter before police burst into his home and shocked him with a Taser stun gun, family members frantically told 911 operators.
Marquez, who had the 3-year-old in a headlock when officers arrived at his home July 28, was shocked twice with Taser as officers tried to pull the girl away, police said. He later died.
Tapes of three 911 calls released Monday portrayed a violent, confusing scene, one so frightening that Marquez's own mother fled the home in hysterics. Inside the house remained the 49-year-old Marquez, the girl and her 19-year-old mother.
The 3-year-old has since been placed in protective custody. The 19-year-old, who was Marquez's daughter, was found naked, covered with blood and chanting nearby during the incident, police said.
The 19-year-old, whose identity hasn't been released, is currently hospitalized, and it's not known whether she will be charged with a crime, said Phoenix Police Sgt. Joel Tranter.
"There's an investigation ongoing," Tranter said.
The 911 calls began when Marquez's sister called after her elderly mother fled the house crying.
