Woman dies at Rikers Island, NYC jail officials say — 4th detainee death of 2025
It’s the fourth death of a Rikers detainee so far this year, following the death last week of 20-year-old Ariel Quidone, and the deaths last month of 55-year-old Terrence Moore and 38-year-old Ramel Powell. That puts the troubled jail complex on pace to meet or exceed the five detainee deaths the city Board of Correction reported last year.
