Family of Mississippi Teen Nolan Xavier Wells Demand Independent Autopsy Amid Civil Rights Concerns

The family of 17-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, who died on Horn Island on July 4, 2026, is demanding an independent autopsy and transparent investigation into his death, with civil rights attorney Ben Crump leading the inquiry. Sheriff's investigators are seeking witnesses from the island, while the case raises racism concerns as it is currently investigated as a death rather than a homicide pending autopsy results[2][3].
