Nicole Marshall, a 22-year-old mother of a 3-year-old girl, died in custody on Tuesday, May 10.
According to Marshall’s family she was in a serious car accident on April, where her car rolled over multiple times.
However, she wasn’t taken to the hospital. Instead the police took her
to the Walker County Jail in Huntsville, Texas.
Symone’s sister, Honey, said:
“When I talked to her from jail, she complained that her head was hurting and she kept blacking out. I called the jail several times and requested for them to take her to a real hospital and they wouldn’t do so. If they would have this, her death could have been prevented and my sister would still be here. My heart hurts so bad. She was my best friend. I am so angry that they did this to her. She moved to Texas for a fresh start in life a few months ago. She was doing good down there, had a job and was about to buy a house. She’s a beautiful person, never been in trouble before and didn’t deserve this.”
Texas police and Walker County jail officials refused to comment or release information about the accident.
Marshall’s family hasn’t been able to get details from officials either.
Natasha McKenna, Sandra Bland, Gynnya McMillen and now Symone Marshall. We can’t take this anymore…We want justice!
