'Began to fear for life': A father's post on Mississippi's 'Trey Reed suicide' goes viral; 'Our son left fearing for life'

A father’s FB post on following Trey Reed’s death at Delta State University campus went viral.

A father’s post in the wake of the tragic death of Demartravion Trey Reed, who was mysteriously found dead at Delta State University, went viral as social media is rife with conspiracy theories that the Black student did not kill himself but was killed. The authorities put all speculations to rest, confirming that Trey Reed was not found wounded in the preliminary investigation. Social media believes that he was lynched to death. One Genesis Perry posted a message on Facebook, stoking the controversy as he urged people, especially, the Reed family to not let go this incident. He said the university has a reputation of racist attack and he son left the university fearing for his life. “He was calling home talking about some of the racism he was experiencing alone with some of his friends. White guys riding around on campus throwing trash at them and calling them Nigg. He finally got the tag number and called the police. They did nothing. Our son then began to put pressure on the police department because it was constantly happening and he hadn’t heard back from the complaint he file. He didn’t just become a target for racism at Delta State he became a target for the police department. For demanding that they do their job,” the FB post said. The post narrated how his son was arrested and eventually his son withdrew from the university as he began to fear for his life.
