Nolan Wells' Parents Make Plea for Justice After No Charges Filed in His Death
- On Monday, a Jackson County grand jury returned a "no true bill" in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, finding no evidence warranting criminal charges after reviewing 132 subpoenas and hearing from 43 witnesses.
- Wells disappeared July 4 while celebrating on Horn Island with friends; his body was recovered two days later off the island's coast, sparking months of speculation about the circumstances.
- An independent autopsy commissioned by the family documented "traces of blood and recent blunt-force injuries" to the back of Wells' head, leading attorney Ben Crump to reject the drowning conclusion.
- While District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath stated there is "absolutely no evidence" the death was racially motivated, Rev. Al Sharpton and the family continue to demand further investigation and answers.
- Sharpton, actor Tyler Perry, and former NFL player Terrell Owens are offering a $125,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, while representatives plan a press conference later this week in Orlando, Florida.
