TL;DR Summary

The family of Dexter Wade is demanding justice after he was allegedly struck and killed by a police car in Jackson, Mississippi, and buried without his family's knowledge. Wade's mother reported him missing in March, but it wasn't until August that she learned of his death. The police failed to notify her and his body remained in a morgue for months before being buried in a potter's field. The mayor acknowledged a lack of communication and called it a "failure," but stated there was no police misconduct. The family is now calling for an independent autopsy and a proper burial for Wade.
