The mayor of Rochester, New York, has fired the city’s police chief—just days after he said he was going to retire—and also called for a federal investigation into the Rochester Police Department and the death of Daniel Prude.
Mayor Lovely Warren announced on Monday the firing of Rochester Chief La'Ron Singletary, effective immediately, citing initial results of a management review of the city’s role in the death of Prude. Citing the review, Warren also suspended Rochester City Corporation Counsel Tim Curtin and Rochester City Communications Director Justin Roj without pay for 30 days.
