Both Lauren Smith Fields & Brenda Rawls lived in Bridgeport, Connecticut when they were found dead on December 12th 2021. What connects their stories is that the Bridgeport Police Department didn't notify either of their families about their untimely deaths... Both families had to go looking for their loved one only to find out that days earlier, police had already discovered each of them dead. These are two separate cases of black women found dead on the same day, in very similar circumstances, where the same police department treated both of their families with no respect and little care.
