Nolan Wells' family pushes back after grand jury finds no cause for charges in his July death

A grand jury has found there wasn’t evidence to bring charges in the death of Nolan Wells, a Black college student who was found dead after a July 4 boating trip and party on an island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Angel Myers McIlrath, the district attorney overseeing Wells’ case, announced the decision late Monday, and Wells' family swiftly questioned the findings. The report comes after months of speculation about how Wells disappeared from the party and why the friends who ferried him to the island left without him. The grand jury found no evidence of criminal conduct and said Wells' death was consistent with drowning, even if autopsies couldn't determine the cause of death.
