Noni Battiste-Kosoko passed away on July 12th just days after her 19th birthday, while in the custody of the Fulton County Sheriff's Department in Atlanta, Georgia. Her family is now determined to find out the truth behind her death and is calling on the public to join them in their quest for justice.
On August 10th, a press conference will be held by the family in order to ask questions from the Sheriff's Office regarding Noni's death. The family's attorney, Dr. Edmond, said, "We are committed to finding out the truth behind Noni's death. The United States Department of Justice is investigating the Fulton County Jail, and if there was any foul play, we will hold all involved accountable."
Noni had been held without bail in the City of Atlanta Detention Center for three months on a misdemeanor charge. She had a $2,000 bond but it was placed on hold due to other charges in Miami, Florida. 11 Alive News reported that Noni was found alone in her jail cell with no obvious indications of harm.
Her mother, Shashu Battiste, is perplexed as to how her daughter went in for a minor crime only to pass away while in custody. She said, "My child was arrested for a misdemeanor and died in jail. And, we want answers!"
So far, there is minimal information regarding Noni's untimely death. The family's attorney claims that the Fulton County jail has "major issues" in regards to the health care infrastructure for inmates. He believes her death was "mysterious" in nature.
The Fulton County Jail has recently been in the spotlight for its treatment of inmates, reaching a settlement with the family of another inmate who died after being "eaten alive" by bedbugs. The autopsy report for Battiste-Kosoko has not yet been released, leaving the family with many unanswered questions. A lawsuit is being considered, according to the family's lawyer.
It is the family's hope that by bringing attention to Noni's death, the truth will come out. They are asking the public to join them in their fight for justice and answers.
