Is this white man (Matthew LaFountain, shown above) responsible for the death of Lauren Smith Fields in Connecticut?
A 23-year-old Black woman—Lauren Smith-Fields—was found dead after a Bumble date with a 37-year-old white man.
He was the last person to see Lauren alive and called the police to report her death. Yet, the police say he’s not a suspect or a person of interest.
Medical examiners ruled that Lauren died of intoxication from fentanyl, promethazine, hydroxyzine, and alcohol. According to her family and friends, she was not a drug user.
Thousands of people believe that Lauren’s death was not an accident.
Yet another Black woman who’s case is going ignored and unsolved. Lauren Smith-Fields was found dead in her apartment after a Bumble date with “an older white man” on December 12th 2021.
Her family has said she wasn’t a drug user. Her date was the last to see her alive, yet police say he doesn’t need to be investigated and his identity is unknown.
Her family was very unhappy with the way her case was handled and even paid for a second autopsy themselves.
No more work on this case has been done after almost a month. Her story is not being shared enough and isn’t getting the attention it desperately needs.
