Family of Black Man Found Dead in Mississippi Demands Justice.

The family of Rasheem Carter, a Black man found dead in Mississippi, alleges he was murdered after he told his mother he was being followed by White men in trucks. The state medical examiner could not determine a cause of death due to the advanced decomposition of his remains, which were found in a wooded area. The investigation remains ongoing, but authorities have not found evidence to corroborate the allegation that he was being followed. The family is calling for a federal investigation into his death, which they believe was a "Mississippi lynching."
