Aiexpress – A New Jersey father who was accused of fatally shooting his daughter last year died in Hudson County Jail last week, prosecutors said Tuesday.
According to a Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson, officers were notified on February 15 that an inmate had fainted inside his cell at the Hudson County Correctional Facility.
Errol Brown, 52, was identified as the inmate who was awaiting trial in connection with his daughter’s tragic shooting.
Officers responded, and onsite medical workers attempted to assist Brown. He was then transported to Jersey City Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at around 3:45 p.m.
The cause of death was not immediately apparent.
According to prosecutors, the NJOAG appointed the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office to conduct an independent investigation into the case because it involved an in-custody death.
The Regional Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause of death.
“Foul play is not suspected at this time,” a spokeswoman stated.
On June 13, 2023, Brown was arrested and charged in connection with his daughter’s shooting death inside an apartment at 331 Ave. E. in Bayonne, according to prosecutors.
Bayonne Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting a gunshot and discovered Keyanna Brown, 28, who had been shot in the upper chest.
Errol was charged with murder and unlawful weapon possession.
