Delta State’s Director of Public Safety Mike Peeler said University Police received a call around 7:05 a.m. in reference to a Black male “hanging from a tree” near the central campus’ pickleball courts.
“Mr. Reed’s next of kin have been notified. At this time, there is no evidence of foul play,” Peeler said.
He added that Reed’s body has been recovered by the Bolivar County Coroner’s Office and that the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the Bolivar County Sheriff’s Department have been called in to assist in the investigation.
