FBI Probe Death 1 Year Ago of Lennon Lacy, Found Hanging in NC

HeadlineAug 28, 2015

Meanwhile, Saturday is the first anniversary of the death of 17-year-old Lennon Lacy, who was found hanging from a swing set in a majority-white trailer park in the tiny town of Bladenboro, North Carolina, one year ago. Local authorities quickly ruled his death a suicide, a claim his family disputed. Lacy had been in a relationship with an older white woman, who has said that they often faced harassment for their interracial relationship. His death is being investigated by the FBI as a possible lynching.
