benz380's JournalFBI now investigating hanging death of teen that was ruled suicide. This happened in August.
Lead investigator told the medical examiner he thought it was a suicide, so the ME listed it as such. Shoddy investigation.
No photos were taken at the scene because the crime techs with the camera were on another case. Don't they have more than one camera? http://www.wral.com/report-raises-issues-about-probe-of-teen-s-hanging-death/14208372/
RALEIGH, N.C. — FBI investigators plan to look into the hanging death of a 17-year-old in Bladen County that local authorities ruled a suicide.
Lennon Lee Lacy was found last summer hanging from a noose on a swing set in Bladenboro. Family members and the NAACP have called his death a "race-based homicide" and asked for a federal investigation, saying local authorities rushed to reach a conclusion and did not fully investigate the case.

Another person of color killed by the police yesterday in my area.
(I posted this in General Discussion but there are no comments and I don't want it to fall through the cracks)
SANFORD, N.C. — A man died Wednesday afternoon after he was shot by a Sanford police officer inside a home in the 600 block of Magnolia Street.
Family members identified the victim as Travis Faison, 24.
For hours after the mid-afternoon shooting, relatives stood outside police crime scene tape awaiting any information from authorities.
"They are trying to keep it down, because the police did it," said Tyrone Bell, a cousin.
