When Tiffany Carter of Fayette, Mississippi, talked to her son, Rasheem Ryelle Carter, on October 2, 2022, she didn’t realize that it would be the last time she would hear his voice.

Rasheem had been contracted to work at the Georgia-Pacific Plant in Taylorsville, Mississippi, and was staying at Motel 8 in Laurel, Mississippi. According to Rasheem’s aunt, Marnee Tompkins of Byram, Mississippi, his last call to his mother was full of panic. He reported that he was being threatened by three trucks of white men.

When they could no longer get in touch with Rasheem, search parties were organized by his mother, family, and friends.

One month later, on November 2, 2022, remains believed to be Rasheem’s were found in a wooded area off Hwy 37, just a mile south of Taylorsville, Mississippi, after a landowner turned in a video from his Deer Cam, to law enforcement.
