Family accuses police of being 'racially insensitive' in investigating woman's death

The woman, Lauren Smith-Fields, was found unresponsive on Dec. 12 in her apartment in Bridgeport by a man she had met on Bumble, according to an incident report provided to NBC News by her family's attorney, Darnell Crosland.

Crosland filed a notice of claim Friday accusing the police of not taking the case seriously enough from the start, for example by not doing a thorough investigation of the apartment. Crosland said the family says they were not contacted by police for days and learned of Smith-Fields' death from her building's landlord, who directed them to police.

In a statement Friday, Garcia said that upon receipt of outstanding reports, including the final findings from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the Bridgeport police will release a final report.

Not true. A person with emotional intelligence, with sensitivity, can understand others could be brutalized. It is a question of awareness. Possibly, also with your families experience has been in the past. In my case, both my parents lived through the nazis.

OF COURSE...............MO MONEY, MO MONEY, MO MONEY. UGH!

Damn.

The guy's statement sounds a little sketchy.

I do not understand why it took the urging of the family for them to investigate the scene of the potential crime. Sad for her family.
