Hundreds marched in the streets near New York City’s Union Square on Wednesday night to demand a federal investigation into the death of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old Black teen from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, whose body was found off Horn Island after a Fourth of July boat trip with a group of mostly white friends who returned without him. Wells’s family and allies are pushing for answers after a Jackson County grand jury declined to bring charges last month. This week, they released findings from a nearly 300-page forensic report that includes Nolan’s friends’ private Snapchat conversations, intensifying calls for transparency and accountability in his death.
