The death of a black teenager in Bladenboro, North Carolina has led The F.B.I. and the community into suspicion about this young man’s untimely death. On August 28th, 17-year-old Lennon Lacy was found hanging by a dog leash, a belt, and was wearing laceless shoes that were a size and a half too small for his feet. According to his mother and brother, Lennon left out his home wearing a new pair of Air Jordan size 12 sneakers however when his body was discovered, those sneakers were nowhere in sight.
Relatively quickly after his death, the media examiner ruled it a suicide suggesting that the teenager was depressed even though the physical evidence suggested otherwise.
