24 year old kid mysteriously killed in precinct (Kenny Lazo) [YOUTUBE]
As Kenny Lazo's family prepared for his wake Wednesday, a lawyer hired by the mother of his son called on Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota to request a special prosecutor to investigate his death while in police custody last weekend.

Lazo, 24, died after collapsing in the Third Precinct in Bay Shore on Saturday after what police said was a violent struggle with three officers who were attempting to arrest him by the side of the Southern State Parkway. Police have admitted to beating him with flashlights after he reached for one of the officer's guns.

The medical examiner's preliminary autopsy indicates none of Lazo's injuries caused his death and that he had an enlarged heart and cocaine in his system when he died, said a police source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The source said Lazo had bruising to the back of his neck from being struck with the flashlight and cuts on his face from being tackled. When he was seated with Third Precinct detectives in an interview room, he apologized for having put up a fight, the source said.
