Very sad news. Venida Browder, the mother of Kalief Browder, died Friday at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx of complications from a heart attack. The news was confirmed by her lawyer, Paul Prestia.

Venida’s son, Kalief, was just 22 when he killed himself after spending three horrific years in Rikers Island. In 2015, he hanged himself with an air conditioning cord in his Bronx home.

Earlier this month, Jay Z announced that he was producing a documentary about Kalief’s life. Venida, along with members of Kalief’s family, were in attendance. Here’s footage of the press conference with Jay Z, Spike TV and Venida.
