“We are deeply heartbroken to learn of the tragic passing of Maria Coto,” Latimer said in a statement on Wednesday.

Maria Coto, 56, died more than a month after she was pummeled, allegedly by 31-year-old Hasseem Jenkins — leaving her with severe brain swelling and bleeding, authorities said.Before Coto died, Jenkins was expected to face charges of attempted murder and assault with intent to cause physical injury, according to online records.

Jenkins “repeatedly punch Coto with his fists and did repeatedly kick Ms. Coto with heavy boots … above the head and body causing Ms. Coto to sustain severe brain bleed, swelling of the brain, and multiple facial fractures,” according to an criminal affidavit obtained by The Post. “Maria was a dedicated employee of the Westchester County Department of Social Services, who was brutally attacked while selflessly performing her duties. It is enraging that someone whose life was devoted to helping others was viciously taken from her friends and family.”
