A Mississippi grand jury declined to indict anyone in connection with the July 2024 death of Nolan Wells.

"Heading: Mississippi grand jury decides not to charge anyone in death of Nolan Wells Jury report says ‘no credible evidence’ points to criminal conduct related to death of Mississippi teen after boat outing with friends on 4 July A grand jury made a unanimous decision late Monday night to not bring criminal charges against anyone in the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, a Mississippi teen who died after a boat outing with friends on 4 July."

"A grand jury determined that there wasn't evidence to warrant charges in the death of an 18-year-old Black man whose body was found after a July 4 boating trip and party on an island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast — a conclusion swiftly questioned by his family. The decision announced late Monday by District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath, who has overseen the investigation into Nolan Wells’ death, comes after months of intense speculation about how he went missing from the bustling party and why the friends who ferried Wells to Horn Island left without him."
