SAN FRANCISCO – A young woman’s family continues to demand answers about how she died in custody.
On Sept. 3, 22-year-old Aamonte Hadley was found unresponsive in the San Francisco County Jail.
More than two months later, her family held a candlelight vigil to continue to call for justice ahead of her 23rd birthday later this month.
Her aunt and mother spoke with CBS Bay Area at a candlelight vigil where they continued to call for justice.
“We’re trying to pick up the pieces but there are no pieces to pick up,” said her aunt, Keisha Hadley.
Hadley had spent nearly two years in a San Francisco County Jail cell, awaiting trial before she was found dead.
“We have no idea what happened,” said Keisha Hadley. “Just getting a call and saying she was unresponsive, we don’t know. We have no clue. Aamonte was a bright, fun, goofy, loving person. She was very helpful, very kind, very generous. and her life was just cut so short, so fast for no reason.”
