Rasheem Ryelle Carter’s family believes police in Taylorsville, Mississippi, are hiding details about his death.
Rasheem Carter, 25, went missing in Mississippi and was found with his body dismembered in a wooded area a month later, on Nov. 2, 2022.Rasheem Ryelle Carter was a star wide receiver in high school and the captain of his baseball team in Fayette, Mississippi.After graduating from Hinds Community College in Utica in 2016 with a degree in welding and cutting technology, he went to work for a railroad company in Brookhaven, Mississippi, which his mother said was “his first real job.
“I called them and reported that my son was missing, I had not talked to him, and it was strange that we didn’t talk,” she told HuffPost. But to the family and their lawyer, noted civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump, the remains show something else altogether. Crump’s office took possession of Carter’s remains after the state was finished and performed an independent analysis of the state results, as well as an independent autopsy.
The image Carter’s family saw, and shared with HuffPost, shows a side profile of Carter in the woods with his shirt off, wearing blue jeans, with some kind of wooden object on his shoulder.
