Erica became an outspoken critic of police brutality following the 2014 death of her father, Eric Garner, on Staten Island, N.Y. He had been placed in a choke hold by an NYPD cop while being arrested on suspicion of selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. His last words of "I can't breathe" became a rallying cry for political activists across America.
Our deepest condolences go out to Erica's family and friends.
