Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves Says Ben Crump & Rev. Al Sharpton Are \u201cStoking Division\u201d Amid Nolan Xavier Wells Investigation<\/h3>\n

According to Fox News<\/a>, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves shared a statement with the platform. In it, he stated that \u201cBen Crump and Al Sharpton are to blame for the threats.\u201d This, amid the investigation into Wells\u2019 passing.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey are stoking division for personal gain,\u201d he reportedly added. \u201cIt\u2019s sad to see, but not unexpected. This is how they\u2019ve built their careers. Jackson County law enforcement, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, and the State Medical Examiner are conducting a thorough investigation. I\u2019m confident they will follow the facts of the case, wherever that leads them. The state\u2019s top prosecutor is also drawing a hard line.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Per the outlet, his statement arrived amid one from Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am proud of the professionalism with which our law enforcement, district attorney, and other local leaders are approaching this tragic case. During an open investigation, it is vital to the cause of justice that everyone respect the integrity of the process. Efforts to intimidate, disrupt, or interfere with the work of our law enforcement and prosecutors and threats to their well-being will be taken seriously, and we will hold those who make them accountable. A bright young life has been lost, and we extend our prayers to his family,\u201d Fitch reportedly asserted.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

More On The Alleged Threats<\/h3>\n

According to the outlet, the \u201cthreats\u201d mentioned by the Governor have been detailed by Mississippi Department of Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell. Per Tindell, threats are now being made against Mississippi officials. As The Shade Room<\/a> previously reported, earlier this month, death threats were allegedly sent to the family of Warren Hudson. This, while Christine Wonsley, Nolan Wells\u2019 mom, had taken to social media to share hate mail<\/a> she also received.<\/p>\n

Per Tindell, those involved in sending threats are \u201ccommitting a criminal act,\u201d which will \u201cbe taken very, very seriously.\u201d Additionally, he believes \u201cfalse information\u201d disseminated about the case has sparked \u201crage and emotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI can tell you, the FBI has reached out. They\u2019re working in any capacity. They\u2019ve offered a hand, in this case, to do anything that\u2019s needed from their end. But they\u2019re also taking a serious look at some of these threats that have come across, to public officials, to witnesses to the family, to anybody involved in this case.I can confirm that we have had threats made against DPS employees, and those threats are being actively investigated. Some potential witnesses and their families have also received threats, and those are being investigated as well,\u201d he reportedly added.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What Happens Next In Nolan Xavier Wells\u2019 investigation?<\/h3>\n

As The Shade Room<\/a> previously reported, earlier this week, Ben Crump publicly shared the preliminary findings. This, of the independent autopsy conducted on Nolan Wells\u2019 body. However, his cause of death and manner of death remained undetermined. This, pending further investigation.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Crump revealed that Wells apparently sustained red discoloration to the back of his head. Additionally, his throat was reportedly kept for further review by the official who conducted an initial autopsy on his body for the state of Mississippi. Meanwhile, the District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath stated that Wells\u2019 state autopsy will remain sealed<\/a> until the investigation is presented to a grand jury.<\/p>\n
