BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- A grieving family continues to demand answers from authorities in the death of Lauren Smith-Fields, a 23-year-old Black woman who was found dead after a date with a white man she met on a dating app.
According to the police report, authorities arrived at her apartment on Dec. 12 to find"a young adult Black female lying on her back, on the floor" and"did not appear to be breathing."
