Summary
We go in-depth into the latest information surrounding the mysterious death of a black college football player who went to an island off the coast of Mississippi to party with his white friends, and never came home. 18-year-old Nolan Wells’ body was found 2 days later in the waters near Horn Island, and while there is no suggestion of race being an issue in his death, it’s necessary to understand why his parents might not trust Mississippi authorities leading this investigation. The local sheriff immediately announced there was no foul play suspected and suggested it was an accidental drowning…. And while that may all be true, it’s important to recognize the suspicious events surrounding Nolan’s death and the notorious racial history of Mississippi.
