CLEVELAND, Miss. (WJTV) - Attorney Ben Crump announced a second, independent autopsy will be conducted for De’Martravion “Trey” Reed, the Delta State University (DSU) student whose body was found hanging from a tree on September 15, 2025.

According to Crump, the Colin Kaepernick “Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative” will cover the cost of the second autopsy. He said Reed's family will seek the autopsy as soon as Reed’s body is released by the Mississippi State Medical Examiner's Office.

“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths. Peace will come only by getting to the truth. We thank Colin Kaepernick for supporting this grieving family and the cause of justice and truth," said Crump.
