In just a little over one week, it will have been six months since Tiffany Carter’s last conversation with her son, Rasheem.

Many questions continue to surround his disappearance and death.

Rasheem, a resident of Fayette, MS, was contracted by a North Carolina company to work at the Georgia-Pacific Plant in Taylorsville, MS.

During his last conversations with his mother, Rasheem told her that he was being followed and threatened by three truckloads of white men and that his North Carolina boss had targeted him.

Who were the white men threatening Rasheem?

Have they been identified?

Why did Rasheem believe that his North Carolina boss had targeted him?

Rasheem and other workers were staying at a motel in Laurel, Mississippi, a little over 20 miles from Taylorsville. Rasheem was having issues with his vehicle and had been riding with a co-worker. Carter also told his mother that he had gotten into a disagreement with a co-worker and was no longer allowed to ride with him.
