Bridgeport woman found dead in apartment after meeting older white man on Bumble
A Bridgeport, Connecticut, family has been left devastated and in desperate need of answers after their 23-year-old relative was found dead inside her apartment.
Lauren Smith-Fields was found unresponsive in her Bridgeport apartment on Dec. 12 after she met an older white man on the dating app Bumble. The man, who has not been named, reportedly contacted police about Smith-Fields’ death and he was not detained for questioning, Westchester News 12 reports.
Lakeem Jetter, the brother of the victim, told the outlet that an arrest wasn’t made because officers said the man was “nice” and “didn’t need to be investigated.”
Smith-Fields’ father said the family has had to deal with a “very insensitive, condescending and arrogant detective.”
Smith-Fields’ mother reportedly wrote a letter to the Bridgeport Police Department about her daughter’s case, but they never responded. Councilwoman Maria Pereira says police owe the victim’s mother an apology.
