Why Are The Protests Continuing For Rasheem Carter?
Searching for answers to his disappearance and death.
Saturday, April 29, 2023, the 3rd protest and march to honor the memory of Rasheem Carter will be held in Taylorsville, Mississippi.
A North Carolina company contracted the 25-year-old black man from Fayette, Mississippi, to work at the Georgia Pacific plant in Taylorsville, Mississippi. Carter arrived in Taylorsville near the end of September 2022. Approximately one week later, he had his last conversations and text messages with his mother, Tiffany Carter — and then he disappeared.
Tiffany Carter, her attorney Ben Crump, Building Bridges Organization, and Black Lives Matter organizations, as well as other family and friends, want to know what happened to Rasheem Carter. A photo on a Trail Camera prompted a search by the Smith County Sheriff's Department. On November 2, 2022, it was reported that the dismembered partial skeletal remains were located in a wooded area south of Taylorsville.
In the Trail Camera photo, Carter appears to be running and is holding a large stick near his right shoulder. Was Carter being chased? Joel Houston, Smith County Sheriff, states that no evidence supports that theory.
