NAACP releases statement regarding grand jury report in Nolan Wells death investigation

The NAACP has released a statement after a Jackson County grand jury released its report on the Nolan Wells death investigation Monday night.

The grand jury returned a no true bill decision in the case. No criminal charges or indictments will be filed as a result of the investigation.

Kristen Clarke, general counsel of the NAACP, released the following statement:

“The results of the grand jury investigation leave Nolan’s family and the public with far more questions than answers. Make no mistake, we will continue to stand with Nolan’s family and use every tool available in the quest to uncover the full truth surrounding his tragic death. Nolan’s family deserves nothing less than a full, fair, and independent investigation that is exhaustive and leaves no stone unturned. We urge the District Attorney to continue the investigation, release the full autopsy report from the state’s medical examiner, and make the investigative file public.”
