A grand jury in the United States will reportedly not bring criminal charges against anyone in connection with the death of Mississippi teenager Nolan Wells, who was found dead after a boating trip on July 4, 2026, according to media reports.

According to a BBC report, Jackson County District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath said the grand jury indicated there was not enough evidence to charge someone with a crime in the death of Wells.

“There is absolutely no evidence to support the allegations that Nolan’s death and disappearance were racially motivated,” Myers McIlrath was quoted as saying by the BBC.

Twenty-five grand jurors reportedly heard from 43 witnesses, which included a forensic pathologist hired by Wells’ family to conduct an independent autopsy.

But Ben Crump, the civil rights attorney hired by Wells’ family, is raising concerns surrounding the death of the teen and noted that the grand jury results leave his family with more questions than answers.

“Nolan’s family will not rest until we know what happened to him, and neither will we,” Crump said.
