Police Concealed Truth from Mississippi Mother for Months After Son's Disappearance

A mother reported her son missing in March, but the Jackson Police Department kept the truth from her for months. The department had actually struck and killed her son with a police SUV on March 5. The incident was ruled accidental, but the police did not inform the mother of her son's death until much later. The mother had a history of mistrust with the police due to her brother's death in 2019 involving excessive force. The family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the police, accusing them of excessive force and a cover-up.
