The FBI is now investigating the death of a Black man who died by a fatal hanging after suing the Alabama police for brutality.
A civil rights attorney for the slain man’s family shared the news of FBI’s involvement. The lawyer, Roderick Van Daniel, called the matter a “community issue” as well as national one.
“This is a family issue, community issue for Colbert County, State of Alabama, and the United States of America,” expressed Van Daniel, as reported by AL.com. “I am grateful to know that a federal investigation will be done. We all are seeking the truth, understanding, and justice.”
Dennoriss Richardson was found dead in Colbert County, Alabama in early October. His body was still hanging by a rope at an abandoned house in the area.
