Family Seeks Answers Months After Cristian Rivera-Coba's Death in Anoka County Jail
Cristian Rivera-Coba died in the Anoka Conty Jail in July. Two months later, there are still no answers as to how a beloved 22-year-old died in custody.
Excerpt:
The two fatalities are among a growing list of young people dying inside Minnesota’s correctional facilities this year – another young man, Oscar D. Rodriguez-Corona, 21, was found dead inside Hennepin County Jail on September 18.
Rivera-Coba’s death is being investigated by the Sherburne County Sheriff’s Office. However, nearly two months after he died, the county hasn’t received the toxicology or autopsy reports from the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office.
Rivera-Coba’s family and advocates gathered outside Anoka County Jail on August 10 demanding answers to his death and an investigation into the jail.
