I’m not seeing any mainstream media coverage. They’re trying to pass this off as a suicide.

    “As of this time, there’s no evidence of foul play”

    Yeah, no evidence at all. Not like racial tensions at their highest in 50+ years, political assassinations happening on college campuses, and a Southern university smack in the center of where KKK activity was an open secret just a generation ago.

    Probably he slipped and fell, maybe he was learning Russian culture /s

      None of that is relevant to this case. Racial tensions are high and it is entirely possible that had nothing to do with this guy’s death. There’s no evidence to conclude anything. That can change but right now the state cannot make claims they cannot support with actual evidence.

      If they assert this was a racially motivated killing then they need to have suspects or direct evidence fir this (eg slurs written on the body) as it would be impossible to maintain this motive without them.
