Lorenzo Doby was just 28 years old in May of 2004 when he tragically died in police custody in Hennepin County, MN. Lorenzo needed medical attention but was not given the medical care needed to save his life. Instead, Lorenzo died at the hands of police officers who were called to the scene of reports that Lorenzo was banging on car windows and “crying out for help” Lorenzo struggled to breathe, and his life ended that day with just one encounter with police. Lorenzo’s death is in a long list of other notable Minnesota police interaction deaths (i.e.- George Floyd, Dante Wright, Philando Castile)
Lorenzo's Story is just one of many who have died at the hands of police officers who take an oath to protect and serve.
In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Lorenzo's younger sister - Tiffany Doby as she walks us through the day that her brother died in police custody, the facts of the case, the cover up, and the investigation into her brother's untimely death.
