Nolan Wells death: Jackson County grand jury issues no true bill
WAPT • • nation
Key Points:
- A Jackson County grand jury unanimously returned a “no true bill” in the investigation of Nolan Xavier Wells’ death, meaning no one will be indicted based on the evidence.
- Wells died on July 4, and his body was found the next day on Horn Island; the grand jury found no credible evidence that his death was criminal or racially motivated.
- The investigation included witness testimony, physical and digital evidence, and found Wells traveled to the island with a large group of friends and chose to stay after boats left, with no evidence of criminal conduct by others.
- Toxicology reports found no cocaine in Wells’ system, and experts ruled the cause of death undetermined, with drowning listed as a diagnosis and no evidence of fatal injury or disease.
- The grand jury noted Mississippi has no statute of limitations for homicide, leaving open the possibility of future investigation if new credible evidence emerges, and expressed sympathy to Wells’ family and friends.
