Not a yank but I know the details.

The American kid is Otto Warmbier. Tragic case, he stole a North Korean poster, and was arrested. Eventually released to the states in a vegative state, and succumbing to his injuries at 21.

The paint chips refer to people being charged with felonies due to removing debris from the reflecting pool. Still early days yet, so no deaths in custody related to it afaik.
