Tasia Fortune Was Found Hanging From a Tree in Jackson. Five Days Later, Mississippi Has Nothing to Say.

29-year-old Tasia Fortune was found hanging from a tree behind a vacant home in Jackson, Mississippi. Five days later, police have released almost nothing — no cause of death, no suspects, no answers. A city councilman wrote federal prosecutors calling it a murder. This is the latest in a pattern of Black people found hanging from trees across the American South.
