New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has called for criminal charges to be filed and arrests to be made after an autopsy report determined Black inmate Robert Brooks’ fatal beating at the hands of correctional officers in December to be a homicide.

"I believe the legal process must quickly move forward with criminal charges being filed and arrests being made,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York said the autopsy results in the death of Robert Brooks, who was beaten by prison guards, should prompt the swift filing of criminal charges.

The death of a shackled inmate at a central New York State prison late last year has been ruled a homicide, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday. Robert Brooks, 43, was brutally beaten with his hands tied behind his back by corrections officers while in custody at Marcy Correction Facility on Dec.

An attorney representing Robert Brooks' family says the Onondaga Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Robert Brooks died from “compression of the neck and multiple blunt force injuries,” according to an autopsy report cited by attorneys representing his family.
