On June 6, 2015, Kalief Browder’s brother was at his home in the Bronx, New York, when he received a frantic call from his mother. The abuse has been documented by those who spoke to him before his death and in the 2017 Netflix series “Time: The Kalief Browder Story.”The criminal charge was ultimately dismissed, and Kalief was freed in 2013.
