Dallas (1080 KRLD) - The street around Dallas District Attorney John Creuzot is sealed off this morning after someone left a replica coffin in the yard of the district attorney. The coffin has the name Diamond Ross on it.
Diamond Ross was unconscious in 2018 when brought into jail. Reports indicate the officers picked her up off the floor and sat her in a wheelchair, unconscious and dying, where they left her for 12 minutes while they attended to other duties.
No one gave her medical attention until paramedics arrived and rushed her to Baylor University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead of a drug overdose the following day.
Officers, who said she fought them while high on PCP, took her into custody on outstanding warrants.
Nearly two years after her death, her family filed a federal lawsuit against the Dallas Police Department, the city’s fire department and two officers, alleging that their negligence violated Ross’ civil rights.
