Black student’s body found hanging from tree in Mississippi

WASHINGTON: A Black college student was found dead hanging from a tree on a university campus in Mississippi this week, prompting calls from civil rights advocates for a thorough investigation, as authorities say there was no evidence of foul play. Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, was found dead early on Monday near the pickleball courts on Delta State University’s campus in Cleveland, Mississippi, according to campus police. Campus police chief Michael Peeler called the death an “isolated incident” and said there was no active threat to students or faculty.
