What happened in Mississippi recently involves two disturbing incidents where two men were found hanging from trees within hours of each other, which has caused nationwide outrage and shock across the state. One of the men was Demartravion "Trey" Reed, a 21-year-old Black college student from Delta State University, whose body was found hanging from a tree on the university campus. The police and coroner reported no signs of foul play so far, and the investigation is ongoing, but this has sparked significant public concern and debate about the true nature of these deaths. The other man, identified as Brandon White (also known as Corey Zukatis), was found hanging near a casino area's forested region in Vicksburg, Mississippi, earlier the same day. Both deaths have led to public outcry, questioning whether these were suicides or racially motivated murders, recalling Mississippi's history with racial violence, including lynching. Families of the deceased and many community members have expressed frustration, demanding justice and unity in the face of these tragedies.
