N. Smith was a minor set up by police in a drug sting. After N. Smith allegedly sold drugs to an informant, plainclothes police threw Smith down, pepper sprayed him, handcuffed him then jumped on his back hard enough to break two ribs. N. Smith began choking almost immediately, but police inserted a large object down his throat because they believed he had swallowed drugs. He died five days later without regaining consciousness. This information is based on a federal lawsuit linked in this entry.
