Congressional Black Caucus urges DOJ to review Nolan Wells case
The caucus wants a federal review after an independent autopsy found the cause and manner of death undetermined, and officials have not ruled out foul play.
- On Wednesday, the Congressional Black Caucus urged Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel to launch an independent federal review of Nolan Wells' case, demanding a response within seven days.
- Nolan Wells, 18, vanished during a July 4 boat trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, after failing to return with friends; authorities recovered his body two days later in water off the island's coast.

- During a news conference Thursday, Congresswoman Lucy McBath joined the Wells family and attorney Ben Crump to reiterate the federal review demand, citing her own son's 2012 death to emphasize the need for transparency.
- A prayer vigil led by Jamal Bryant is scheduled for August 19 at Greater St. John AME Church in Biloxi to mark Wells' birthday and maintain public pressure for answers in the ongoing case.
