Did Nolan Wells drown? Big update in case as grand jury announces major decision, ‘No credible evidence to support…’

A Mississippi grand jury has decided there is not enough evidence to charge anyone in the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, according to a report released on Monday. The grand jury reviewed 132 subpoenas and heard testimony from 43 witnesses, ultimately issuing a "no true bill." The grand jury concluded that Wells' body position, condition, time of discovery, and location were consistent with drowning.

An independent autopsy found the cause and manner of death remained undetermined pending further investigation. Authorities previously believed Wells had drowned. The grand jury found no evidence of fatal injuries or organic disease in Wells' body and determined he did not have cocaine in his system at the time of death. District Attorney Angel Myers McIlrath expressed her community's devastation over Wells' death and denied any racial motivation behind the incident.
