Overview

• The teenager fell unconscious at about 12:40 a.m. inside the 41st Precinct stationhouse on Longwood Avenue in the Bronx and was later pronounced dead at Lincoln Hospital.
• Officers performed CPR on the woman until EMS arrived to transport her to the hospital, where life-saving efforts were unsuccessful.
• An internal investigation has been launched by the NYPD’s Force Investigations Division because the death occurred in police custody.
• Police have identified her only as a prisoner and have not disclosed the nature of the charges she faced.
• Her death follows the June 26 in-custody death of Shelton Ennis in Manhattan, intensifying scrutiny of NYPD detainee handling and calls for greater transparency.
