A grand jury has determined there is no evidence to support criminal charges in the death of Nolan Wells, an 18-year-old Black college football player from Mississippi who was found dead after a July 4 boating trip off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. According to ABC News US, the decision follows a review of the circumstances surrounding his death. His family, however, remains unsatisfied with the outcome. The family has raised questions about whether Wells' race played a role in his death, as reported by NPR News. CBS News US noted that Wells was found dead after going missing during an outing with friends on Horn Island, and his family continues to seek answers. No individuals have been indicted in connection with his death.
