In Mississippi, a 21-year-old Black student at Delta State University was found hanging from a tree on campus on Monday. Local officials say no foul play is suspected in Demartravion “Trey” Reed’s death, but his family is demanding an independent autopsy. The family’s attorney, Ben Crump, said, “Trey Reed was a young man full of promise and warmth, deeply loved and respected by all who knew him; We cannot accept vague conclusions when so many questions remain.”

A second Mississippi man was also found hanging on Monday about 100 miles away in Vicksburg. Police have identified the man as Cory Zukatis, a 36-year-old white man who was unhoused. Vicksburg Police said the two deaths are not related.
