Friends question race factor in Nolan Wells death, accuse Ben Crump

Nolan Wells' friends Jayvon Williams and Tracetin Shepherd deny race was a factor in his death, accusing attorney Ben Crump of taking advantage of the situation.

Wells, an 18-year-old from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was found dead on Horn Island on July 6 after going missing on July 4.

Shepherd said people on the boat with Wells are receiving death threats, and the racial narrative is being pushed by Crump.

Williams stated that the demographics of the friend group are not unusual and that 'none of this adds up.'

Crump previously said there were very few Black people on the island, suggesting witnesses should have noticed something.
