BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Communities across the country, including Baton Rouge, are coming together to call for answers in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells.
A march for answers took place on Sunday, Nov. 1. People met at Scotlandville Plaza at 3 p.m. for a prayer walk and gathering.
The call for answers is a nationwide movement. Organizers said, “One march, fifty states.”
The event flyer lists truth, transparency, and accountability. Participants were encouraged to wear black, bring signs, and bring their voices.
Wells, a Mississippi native, went missing during a July 4 trip to Horn Island with a group of friends. His body was discovered on the shoreline of the island two days later.
A grand jury in Mississippi unanimously decided there was no evidence of criminal activity in the death of Nolan Wells.
A nationwide movement gives people a chance to show their support and call for greater transparency. The family and their legal team continue to advocate for a federal review.
Organizers said that even though questions remain around the case, the community cannot let it split them apart.
