Rochester, New York – An investigation into the official response to Daniel Prude’s death in police custody last year says that the mayor lied to the public. The report, commissioned by Rochester’s city council and made public Friday, said Mayor Lovely Warren lied at a September press conference when she said it wasn’t until August that she learned officers had physically restrained Prude during the arrest on March 23, 2020.
Warren was told that very day that officers had used physical restraint, the report said, and by mid-April she and other officials were aware Prude had died as a result and the officers were under criminal investigation.
