Civil rights lawyer Ben Crump announced Friday that Colin Kaepernick will “know your rights camp autopsy initiative,” covering the costs of a second independent autopsy for the late Delta State University student Demartravion “Trey” Reed.
Reed was found hanging from a tree on Delta State’s campus on September 15th. Officials at the Cleveland Police Department said the Mississippi Medical Inspector’s office conducted an autopsy, determined that the cause of Reid’s death was hanging and concluded that he committed suicide in his actions. The Cleveland Police Department added that the final toxicology outcome is ongoing and could take two to four weeks, according to a statement via Clarion Ledger, part of the USA Today Network.
According to a press release from Crump’s office, Reed’s family raised concerns after receiving incomplete information about the conflicting accounts and the circumstances of his tragic death.
“Trey’s death evoked the collective memories of communities that have suffered historical damage from many deaths. Peace will only come by reaching the truth,” the press release read. “Thank you to Colin Kaepernick for supporting this grieving family and the causes of justice and truth.”
Kaepernick played in the NFL for six seasons. His decision in the 2016 season caused public debate, as his decision to kneel during the national anthem to protest social injustice and police brutality.
The former quarterback has not played in the NFL since the 2016 season. Kaepernick filed a complaint against the NFL and alleged conspiracy against him. The parties reached a settlement in 2019.
