- Wells' body was found on the northwest end of Horn Island after he went missing during a Fourth weekend trip with friends from nearby Ocean Springs.

- The case drew national scrutiny as civil rights leaders expressed concerns regarding transparency, accountability, and disparities in attention to cases involving Black victims.
