Spence allegedly set up victim Latesha Bynum’s July 15 procedure with an unlicensed doctor at a Gramercy Park clinic, according to prosecutors.
After Bynum had the illegal silicone injections, she developed chest pain and difficulty breathing. The Harlem woman was rushed to the hospital, where she was later pronounced brain dead.
Authorities said that the fake physician who allegedly performed the deadly augmentation is still at large. He and Spence ran the lucrative cash-only clinic since 2013, prosecutors allege.
