Shantell Fields, Lauren Smith-Fields' mother, speaks during a protest rally in front of the Morton Government Center, in Bridgeport, Conn. Jan. 23, 2022. Smith-Fields was found dead in her Bridgeport apartment in December and her family and friends marched in her memory on Sunday, which would have been her 24th birthday. Fields is seen here with Lauren's father, Everett Smith. The death of the Black women has her family and the community asking questions about policing, race and victims rights.
