Family Demands Justice After Drowning of 8-Year-Old Black Boy
A Black family in Jesup, Georgia, believes there are even more people at fault after police initially ruled an eight-year-old’s death an “accidental drowning.”
NBC News reported that it took the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department 55 days to treat Noah Bush’s death as a homicide after he was found in a flooded construction “borrow pit” on May 16, a day after his family reported him missing.
Noah’s mother Demetrice Michelle said she last saw her son after he went to play outside with two new friends, aged 10 and 11. The boys were captured on Ring camera footage headed in the direction of the pit. However, in other footage the boys were seen walking back from the area with one of their mothers but without Noah.
