“My little brother died here alone,” she wrote. “This s—t hurts, please keep us in prayers.

Investigation Report
Community members challenged city officials at a news conference on Friday, questioning why they were so quick to dub Fuller’s death as a suicide — officials previously claimed his death marked the city’s 15th alleged suicide this year.
Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer acknowledged that “we should have stated it better” when alluding to suicide, using the word “alleged” instead.
