The family of a 23-year-old Black woman who died after a date with a man she had met on Bumble plans to sue the city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, charging that its police department's handling of the case has been 'racially insensitive.'
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.
