Her family is outraged and disgusted at how they say the Bridgeport, Conn., Police Department has handled the investigation.
Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim said the city's Office of Internal Affairs will conduct a"full and fair investigation" into the handling of her death.
"Sensitivity and care is of utmost importance when working with the family of a victim. There is no tolerance for anything less than respect and sensitivity for family members and their loss," Ganim said in a statement. Ganim also announced that he will work with the Chief of Police to make changes to the police department's policies and practices when it comes to notifying family members of a death.
"I support and add my voice to the family, community, and elected officials who are calling for state legislation on this issue," Ganim said.
