Benjamin Crump represents the family of Saniyah Cheatham, an 18-year-old Black girl who died in NYPD custody. Crump advocates for accountability and transparency after Cheatham's death. She was arrested after a fight and allegedly committed suicide soon after being detained. Her mother, Thomasina Cheatham, questions the official narrative and expresses disbelief about the circumstances surrounding her daughter's death. She demands access to surveillance footage for clarity. The NYPD's Force Investigation Division is investigating the case, which has drawn significant public attention and concern.
Saniyah Cheatham was an 18-year-old with her whole life ahead of her. I commend her mother, Thomasina, for her courage in standing up to demand the truth.
What happened to her? I don't believe she killed herself. Maybe she said something they didn't like, they roughed her up.
