@MarkPuente and @TMP_Doug and I reviewed the footage of the last moments of Ms. Grant’s life. However, some of the footage is missing. @CuyahogaCounty declined to comment on why 30 seconds of footage appears to be missing when Ms. Grant was discovered by a county deputy.

I have been reporting in Cleveland under two years with my colleagues @MarkPuente and @TMP_Doug . So far, I have reported on four deaths in the custody of the Cuyahoga County Jail. The most recent being Tasha Grant whose death was ruled a homicide. 🧵 themarshallproject.org/2025/…

Tasha Grant is the second double amputee to die in @cuyahogacounty custody. Fred Maynard died after choking on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in front of correctional officers at the Cuyahoga County Jail in August 2023. themarshallproject.org/2025/…
The medical examiner, ruling homicide, identified internal bleeding in muscles caused by pressure placed on Tasha Grant’s neck. “She had no legs. Why would they restrain her down like that?” said Marcel Potter, who shares an 11-year-old son with Grant. themarshallproject.org/2025/…

After four long years, we have a tentative agreement. Despite cuts across @Gannett newsrooms, our @azrepublicguild won a contract that raises wages for everybody and preserves medical and retirement benefits.
