Hundreds march across Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge seeking justice for Nolan Wells

BILOXI/OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) — Community members, civil rights activists, organizers and supporters gathered Sunday in Mississippi for the Justice for Nolan Xavier Wells Mass March, calling for answers and accountability surrounding his death.

Participants in the march across the Biloxi-Ocean Springs Bridge called on the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI to conduct a thorough and impartial review of the circumstances surrounding Wells’ death.

The march brought together people from across the country in support of the Wells family and its continued calls for justice.

Hundreds took part, carrying signs and chanting as they walked across the bridge.

Audrey Cover of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, said she traveled in support of the family.

“We are so outraged by this. We are both mothers. This could be our child. This could be anybody’s child. All across America, people are aware of this and they’re not going to let it die. End of story. It is not dying. We want justice,” Cover said.
