JUST IN: NAACP Steps In To Demand Answers In Nolan Wells Death
The Blavity (News & Politics) reports:
Because Mississippi law enforcement can rarely be trusted to properly investigate the suspicious death of a young Black man without relentless outside pressure, national civil rights leaders are stepping in. Eighteen-year-old Nolan Wells went on a boating trip and never came back alive.
The NAACP’s Office of General Counsel announced Monday that it will join the legal team investigating the death of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old whose body was found in the water off Mississippi’s Horn Island on July 6 following a Fourth of July boating trip with friends.
When a young Black man dies under suspicious circumstances in Mississippi, we know the routine—and we refuse to let another family be stonewalled.
