The family of Demartravion 'Trey' Reed, a 21-year-old Black student found dead on the campus of Delta State University in Mississippi, say they were initially told he died in his dormitory bed before later learning he had been discovered hanging from a tree. The conflicting accounts have fuelled calls for transparency and raised questions about whether authorities mishandled the case.
