Ummmm…

After a Black 19-year-old was found dead in what police determined was a suicide, the young man’s grieving family is pushing for more information and questioning the way police have handled the tragedy. According to the family, Derontae Martin was a happy, outgoing, and fun former football player who worked at a restaurant and Walmart. He was found dead after attending a prom party on April 25, as reported by the Associated Press.

The prom party was hosted in the rural home of a middle-aged white man who shared racist posts on Facebook, including one of a Confederate flag. The man also shared a meme that says “Here’s my apology for being white” along with a middle finger. Martin was found dead in the attic of this man’s home, whose name has not been released because he has not been charged with a crime. Martin’s family—and local activists—want answers.
