In California, the FBI, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California are reviewing investigations into the recent deaths of two Black men who were both found hanging from trees, 10 days apart. Twenty-four-year-old Robert Fuller was found in Palmdale last week. His death was originally described as a suicide by local authorities, but his family says they do not believe this was the cause, and many are calling his death a lynching. Thirty-eight-year-old Malcolm Harsch was found hanging from a tree in nearby Victorville, 10 days prior. No official cause of death has been released.
