ST. LOUIS – The family of a man who died in the St. Louis City Justice Center last month is suing the city, CJC employees, the jail’s medical provider and select employees.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed that the Justice Center notified police of an in-custody death around 11:35 p.m. on Saturday, July 19.
Police learned that a fight between two detainees in a shared cell began sometime after 8 p.m. Police allege that one of those detainees, identified as Samuel Hayes Jr., did not listen to jail staff after the confrontation and was placed in a restraint chair.
