Sep 3, 20201:01Now PlayingThe daughter of a man who suffocated after police in Rochester, New York put a "spit hood" over his head says she believes there was a cover-up in his death.
Daniel Prude, 41, known to his big Chicago-based family as "Rell," died March 30 after he was taken off life support, seven days after the encounter with police in Rochester. Prude, who was Black, was from Chicago.
His death happened just as the coronavirus was raging out of control in New York and received no public attention at the time.
Wednesday, Prude's family held a news conference and released police body camera video obtained through a public records request that captured his fatal interaction with the officers.
"I believe wholeheartedly that there was a coverup because my father died March 30, there is no reason why this story is just now getting the media, September 2nd," said 18-year-old Tashyra Prude, Daughter of Daniel Prude.
The family plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the case.
"Our intent in pursuing this lawsuit is to ensure that not only the city of Rochester is named, but all of the officers that are responsible for this case. At this point, we understand that three officers were present on the scene and we intend to seek liability against all of them as well, against the city," said the daughter's attorney, Nicolette Ward.
