Lauren Smith-Fields' family held a rally for justice over the weekend, demanding answers after the 23-year-old was found dead in her Connecticut apartment by a man she met on Bumble.
reports Smith-Fields, a Black woman, was found unresponsive on December 12 by a 37-year-old white man she met on Bumble. According to NBC News, her family has alleged in a notice of their intent to sue the department that police have been “racially insensitive” and have failed to properly investigate the case.
“My daughter had a life, she traveled the world, she went to college and did tutorials on how to do hair and nails,” Smith-Fields’ father, Everett Smith, said at the rally, according to. "She had a voice and that voice was stripped and the Bridgeport police station ain’t doing sh*t about it.” Crosland told CBS News that evidence like bloody sheets and drinks at the scene weren't properly processed until weeks after Smith-Fields death. He said there was a semen-filled condom and a pill at the scene, which werehas reached out to the Bridgeport Police Department for comment but has not heard back. The department previously issued the following statement to NBC News:
"The Detective Bureau is awaiting the final report from the Chief Medical Examiner's Office for cause and manner of death of Ms. Smith-Fields. The Bridgeport Police Department offers it's sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Lauren Smith-Fields."“People know Black women, Black girls have been going missing and haven't gotten any attention, and I think it's at a boiling point,” Crosland said to CBS News.
