Nolan Wells death prompts $100K reward
At Nolan Wells’ funeral in Mississippi, Rev. Al Sharpton announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the teen’s death, later matched by Tyler Perry to bring the total to $100,000, as families and activists push for a full, independent investigation. The service drew national attention and prominent supporters, highlighting ongoing concerns about racial tensions in Mississippi and calls for accountability surrounding Wells’ disappearance after a Fourth of July trip with white friends.
