Instead, Mendez, who had had a leg amputated, was left in the cell with no wheelchair. Officers were supposed to check in on him regularly — but the required checks never consistently happened. The next day, he was found unresponsive; efforts to resuscitate him were not successful.
Mendez is among 40 people who died in police custody in 2023 and 2024, roughly double the toll of any two-year period since at least 2016, according to police data reviewed by THE CITY. And at least nine people have died in NYPD custody so far this year.

Young Reporters Press for More School Papers
Student journalists rallied Tuesday on the steps of City Hall to push for the expansion of journalism programs at public high schools.
Just 35 high schools have student publications, although many more schools have journalism classes, according to new Department of Education data released this week under a law passed by the City Council last year.
“It’s a public investment in our city’s future by supporting these journalism programs,” said Autumn Wynn, 17, a senior at Park Slope Collegiate, which launched journalism classes this year.
Julius Marinov is a junior at the High School for Environmental Studies in Manhattan, which doesn’t offer any journalism courses.
“We’re not done until every public school student has access to journalism education,” he said.
