The FBI is looking into the death of an intellectually disabled inmate who died at a Virginia prison and whom the agency identified as “a possible victim of a crime.”.
In this photo taken sometime in the early 2000s provided by Kymberly Hobbs, Hobbs poses next to her brother, Charles Givens. The FBI is investigating the death of Givens, an intellectually disabled inmate at a Virginia prison as the victim of a possible crime, after a lawsuit filed by Hobbs, alleged the man was brutally beaten by correctional officers, according to a document reviewed Monday, July 24, 2023, by The Associated Press.
Hobbs, who said the email marked the first correspondence she'd had with the FBI about her brother's death, said she welcomed the development.Dee Rybiski, an FBI spokeswoman in Richmond, declined to comment, noting the agency does not usually confirm or deny the existence of investigations. An autopsy report reviewed by AP determined Givens’ cause of death was blunt force trauma of the torso and his manner of death was undetermined.
The Department of Corrections has not responded to emailed questions about the matter, including queries sent last week and again Monday.
