OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 02/19/2024, deputies responded to reports of a woman described as behaving erratically and allegedly throwing an object at a residence window before deputies confronted her. Police stated an altercation began during the detention attempt and multiple deputies restrained her on the ground, after which she became unresponsive and died while being restrained. Two years after the incident, authorities have not publicly released her name, the number of deputies involved, the identities of the deputies, a definitive cause of death, or a detailed explanation of how and why she died during restraint. Reporting consistently uses the phrasing that she died while being detained or restrained, with no confirmed weapon disclosed and no publicly released bodycam footage or comprehensive incident reconstruction. FDLE was assigned to investigate, yet key transparency details including identity, restraint specifics, and medical cause remain undisclosed, creating a documented discrepancy between the seriousness of an in-custody death and the limited information released to the public on the anniversary of the death. She is believed to have been unarmed.
