"Family Demands Justice and Investigation into Mississippi Man's Death by Police Car"

TL;DR Summary
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump plans to request an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department into the death of Dexter Wade, a Mississippi man who was killed by a police SUV driven by an off-duty officer. Wade's mother was not informed of his death until several months later, and he was buried without the family's knowledge. Crump intends to have the body exhumed for an autopsy and a proper funeral. The Jackson Police Department is criticized for its handling of the case, as Wade's mother had previously filed lawsuits against the department after her brother died following a police encounter.
