At approximately 7:05 am, University Police was notified of what appeared to be the body of a Black male hanging from a tree (at) central campus near the DSU pickleball course,” said Delta State University Chief of Police Michael Peeler. “We later identified the male subject to be Demartravion Reed of Grenada, Mississippi.”
“I saw no broken limbs,” he said. Roark declined to elaborate further, stating that the case was still under investigation. “I don’t think I should probably discuss this any further than that, my opinion is that it was self-done, and I have reasons for that.”
my opinion is that it was self-done
Idk, sure as fuck sound like an old-school lynching to me
A black man? Being lynched in Mississippi? Nah.
"… and I have reasons for that.”
As in “I know which of my Klan members did this”?
I’ve seen some social media posts saying his cousin claims he was beaten and had some broken limbs. None of the “reputable” news sources are covering that though.
Hmm a black man hanging in a tree in Mississippi… Yeah definitely a suicide…
