After an African American teenager was found dead in Mississippi on Monday, his family hired prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump to seek answers about the circumstances surrounding his death. Crump has a history of quickly framing similar cases in racial terms, and this case is likely to be no different.

Mississippi teenage and college football player Nolan Wells went missing on Saturday, the Fourth of July, while on a trip to the nearby Horn Island with a group of boys. Within hours of returning to Ocean Springs, a coastal town of about 18,000 people, one of the boys reported him missing to the Coast Guard. On Monday, a U.S. park ranger found Wells’s body on Horn Island.
