Mitchell Brad Martinez died yesterday after an 8-minute ride in a police transport van. Police have provided no explanation as to how or why.
A photo, posted to the Facebook page Justice for Brad Martinez shows abrasions and blood coming out of Brad’s mouth.
“We can’t get any answers and figured we’d reach out for some help,” the Page’s author wrote.
Local Sheriff Deryl Loar stated that nothing out of the ordinary or unusual happened while Martinez was in police custody.
“There’s no other inmates that could touch him. No other officers that could touch him. Nothing unusual happened on the way to the jail,” Loar said to the Palm Beach Post.
An autopsy for Loar is scheduled for Thursday.
