Inmate killed in violent incident at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn

An inmate at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center died in a brawl Wednesday afternoon — the second violent death at the troubled federal prison in as many months.

Prison staff performed “life-saving measures” and called for emergency medical services, which took Cordero to a nearby hospital, where he died, the BOP said in a news release Wednesday.
