The recent discovery of a Black student, Trey Reed, hanging from a tree on the campus of Delta State University has sparked outrage and demand for answers from his family and the community. While authorities have stated that there are no signs of foul play and video footage exists showing the incident, calls for an independent autopsy and a federal investigation are gaining momentum. Coincidentally, two men were found hanging in separate incidents across Mississippi on the same day, prompting further scrutiny into the circumstances of these deaths. The Mississippi State Crime Lab is currently conducting autopsies, and many are questioning whether these incidents may be linked to broader issues of racial violence and safety on college campuses. With community organizations and local officials speaking out, the situation continues to develop as families seek justice and clarity.
