Shawndre Delmore
Shawndre Delmore, 24, was held at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where, according to his family, his mother Natasha Holoman said he was loving and would never harm anyone. Jail staff found him unresponsive in his cell on August 31, 2023, and he was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died on September 3. The family was told he died of cardiac arrest, but his mother and attorneys dispute that account and say he had no known prior medical conditions. They are demanding medical records, surveillance video and access to witnesses, and the Medical Examiner's autopsy was still pending in the reporting.
