The family of Nolan Xavier Wells has retained civil rights lawyer Ben Crump. The 18-year-old college student was found dead on Horn Island in Jackson, Mississippi, on Monday, July 6. Nolan went to the island with a group of friends on the Fourth of July and never returned. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office claims Nolan willingly stayed on the island alone. According to a press release from Crump, the Wells’ family wants a “thorough and transparent” investigation into his death.

Nolan Xavier Wells’ Family Retains Ben Crump Amid Questions About His Death

Nolan was reported missing by his mother to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office around midnight on Saturday after he didn’t return with the rest of the group. He was found two days later and identified through family confirmation and dental records, per WLOX.

According to ABC News, the group claimed Nolan wanted to stay on the island, so they “went back” without him. Nolan was seemingly one of the only Black people amid the seemingly majority white group. The lack of answers from the group he traveled with to Horn Island has raised suspicions and public demands for clarification. Sheriff John Ledbetter has already said his department doesn’t suspect foul play, but investigators are considering a drowning.

“From what we understand, he chose to stay there,” said Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter. Later adding, “There’s no information that we have right now that would lead us to believe that a crime has occurred.”

Crump released a statement after Nolan was found. The civil rights’ lawyer called for a transparent investigation into Nolan’s death.

“Nolan Wells was a beloved son, teammate and friend who went out to celebrate the Fourth of July and never came home,” reads Ben Crump’s statement. “His family deserves answers. They deserve the truth. We will not rest until every fact about what happened to Nolan on Horn Island is brought into the light, and we call on investigators to pursue this case with the urgency and transparency this family deserves.”

Nolan’s Mother Updates Public Profile Amid Son’s Death

The Shade Room previously reported that his mother, Christine Wonsley, shared a picture of Nolan with three friends on a boat taken on the same day he disappeared. She also on Tuesday updated her Facebook profile picture with a photograph of herself with Nolan.

His mysterious death prompted questions about how he died, and a video taken on Horn Island on July 4 raised more concerns. The video was shot from a boat and seemingly shows a man resembling Nolan standing by on the beach as an argument took place. One individual is heard yelling the F-word, but the audio is distant. It’s unclear if the college student was the target of the shouting individual as crowds of people are seen looking on.

Nolan’s Childhood Friends Spoke Out After His Death

According to the Sun Herald, Nolan’s best friend, Jayvon Williams, was supposed to ride out to Horn Island on the same boat as him. He didn’t because it was full, but he remembers last seeing Nolan around 4 p.m. on the island.

“As soon as we got out there, he told me that he loved me,” recalled Jayvon.

Another friend, Trace Carter, said he talked to Nolan before the trip. “Just hit me up when you get back,” said Carter. “Just be careful, bro. Watch out for yourself.” Nolan replied, “I got you. I’ll hit you up later.”

Recap Of Phone Tussle Between Big Tigger & His Wife

As previously reported, social media users seemed to be picking sides in the overall domestic dispute between Big Tigger and Alicia Brown. Leaked footage last month seemingly showed the radio host getting physical with his wife. However, in the latest leak, social media users are debating who was at fault for the physical struggle. In the clip, Alicia is seen refusing to return her husband’s phone. Eventually, she ends up on the floor and claims he put her there. He denies he pushed her down, and stood over her attempting to take back his phone, and said giving it back would end the situation. She repeatedly declined to give it back in between cries. VIDEO HERE. 

Lil Duval Sparks Reactions From Lil Scrappy, King Harris & Naturi Naughton

Internet users didn’t hold back on pointing fingers and dropping hot takes. Now, even celebrities, including from Big Tigger’s base city Atlanta, are weighing in. Lil Duval racked up nearly 23,000 comments in 11 hours after sharing the viral phone tussle video on his Instagram. In the caption, Duval shut down headlines framing the clip as assault, and said he spoke out because other celebs aren’t being neutral.

“Why is the blogs posting this as he’s beating her when he’s CLEARLY just trying to get his phone back. Ion know who tigger pissed off but they after him. Be careful who you raw (ima have to see him physically hit her on camera in order for me to believe it. I’m only posting this cuz ion see nobody else wit a big platform saying anything without being one sided),” Duval wrote.

In his own comment section, the comedian added, “Why didn’t he just call the police” WITH WHAT PHONE? She got it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.” Also in the comment section, Lil Scrappy seemingly agreed with Duval, accusing Alicia Brown and the person recording the phone tussle of setting up Tigger.

“Her and her friend was on some bs that’s crazy that’s why I dnt trust a lot no more. I’d rather be by myself, she said get off of me and he was standing over her trying to get her phone she could of got up but stayed on the ground being dramatic,” Scrappy wrote.

Meanwhile, King Harris said, “Its video pissed me off,” adding laughing emojis. Naturi Naughton commented, “Exactly! I’ve known @bigtiggershow for DECADES and only seen kindness, joy and love from this man. #ThisisSad.”

Within an hour of The Shade Room posting about Alicia Brown’s arrest, over 6,000 roommate comments flooded the Instagram post. Sukihana commented, “Wtffff I need to stay off the internet. My pregnant butt just got overstimulated from this right here.” Meanwhile, Karlissa Saffold wrote, “Some of y’all be loving to hard 😂im glad I ain’t never loved this hard.”

As reported by TMZ, Big Tigger’s wife is in police custody after a Maryland arrest warrant was enforced in Georgia. Apparently, Brown was pulled over by Hart County Sheriff’s Office deputies after a BOLO was placed on her vehicle. She was arrested roadside without incident during the felony traffic stop on Interstate 85. The BOLO was tied to kidnapping-related warrants tied to the disappearance of her 10-year-old daughter in 2019, who was reportedly supposed to be turned over to her father’s custody. Brown will reportedly be extradited to Maryland at an unknown date.

More On Recent Events Between Big Tigger & His Wife And The 2019 Disappearance Of Alicia Brown’s Daughter

As The Shade Room previously reported, in June, Alicia Brown took to social media, sharing footage of her battered face, seemingly accusing Big Tigger while also labeling adultery on their marriage. Specifically, Alicia accused Tigger of cheating on her with his radio co-host, Francesca Amiker.

Ultimately, Amiker denied the claims. However, amid the allegations, Brown herself became accused of having something to do with the 2019 disappearance of her then-ten-year-old daughter.

By mid-month, Tigger was reportedly named as a suspect in a alleged assault case involving Alicia, per The Shade Room. Notably, Alicia came forward to assert that she never accused her husband of being an abuser. However, on June 20, Tigger was taken into custody in relation to the case.

In the weeks that followed, Tigger was reportedly ordered to stay away from Alicia and their children. Amid this, however, footage surfaced, allegedly showing the altercation which sparked the initial allegations. More recently, additional footage was apparently leaked, showing the husband and wife struggling over his phone.

At this time, Big Tigger has not publicly reacted to the arrest of his wife.

Allison Jones thought she landed a job in tech through an “Easy Apply” job application on LinkedIn. Instead, she received an email containing racist language from an individual claiming to represent the company’s Human Resources team.

Was the business legitimate? And what should everyone know when applying to jobs online?

The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is delving in and sharing answers on ‘TSR Investigates.’

Allison Jones Received Racist “Dear Chimp” Email After Applying For Apparent Job

According to Carter, Allison Jones reportedly scored a job interview with the tech company Nexesh. Per Jones, her interview started peculiarly, with the interviewer allegedly asking to push back their sit-down by an hour. When Jones communicated that the suggested time wouldn’t work for her, and she would reschedule the interview herself, the interview allegedly “abruptly” hung up.

“Like hangs up in my face,” she told Carter. “So I’m kind of like, ‘Okay…’ And to be honest, at that point, I was like, I’m probably not going to reschedule this interview.”

Per Jones, an hour later, she received an email from the recruiter.

“‘Dear Chimp, You showed up to the interview just to say you’re not interested? What a clown. Impressive waste of everyone’s time. Next time you feel like playing these games, don’t. Never reach out to us again. Ever,” the email reportedly read.

More On The Email & The Alleged Company’s Reported Response

According to Jones, she was “floored.” But she replied to the message and received a follow-up email that explained the company doesn’t hire “walking diversity chimps.”

“… and we’d personally escort their asses straight into the f*****g dumpster before they slither through our doors and poison the entire goddamn environment,” the return email reportedly read.

Scroll above to watch as Carter recounts the entire alleged ordeal. Additionally, Carter shares how Nexesh allegedly responded to the viral incident and to the alleged employee’s apparent discrimination. Furthermore, Allison Jones shares why she believes the company still harassed her despite its apparent public apology. Ultimately, Jones shares that Nexesh’s alleged CEO reached out to her directly, and how she and a lawyer discovered the company may not even be a legitimate business.

Early Tuesday (July 7), Big Tigger and his wife, Alicia Brown, were trending on social media after a viral clip showed him trying to retrieve his phone from her. It’s unclear who’s recording, but they’re heard making comments to Tigger. Tigger had his arms around Alicia, trying to grab whatever she appeared to be holding near her stomach area. At one point, she ends up falling on the floor, on some packaged clothes. Bigger Tigger immediately tries to explain that he didn’t do anything and that Alicia “dropped” to the person behind the camera. Meanwhile, Brown was on the floor, crying out. Tigger then said multiple times that she could give him the phone and that everything would be “over with.” While she was on the floor, he was standing over her and reaching around her body to grab the phone.

@msbeautiful87 added, “If you’re doing all of that over a phone, it’s definitely not about no private conversations with no family or friends you’re cheating. That’s what it is. Ain’t no conversation between family and friends that important that you have to scramble with your better half to get a phone you’re hiding something clearly.”

What Did The Last Viral Video Of The Couple Show?

About week and a half ago, video also circulated of Alicia Brown and Big Tigger in another physical shuffle. The Ring camera footage appeared to show the couple arguing outside of a home. It appears that he grabbed her by the throat and the arms as she yelled for him to get off her. She had released a statement taking “accountability” for posting injuries while expressing her frustration with him not taking any.

Big Tigger and Alicia Brown’s physical altercations led to his arrest on June 21 for an alleged May 9 incident. She told police he became physical after she confronted him about texting a woman. Court documents reportedly stated that Alicia accused him of tackling her over his phone and calling her a psycho in the confrontation. A minor was in the home at the time of the altercation, leading to a third-degree cruelty to children charge in the arrest. Also, a judge ordered him to stay at least 200 yards from Brown and the children. He also had to surrender access to the home’s Ring cameras and gate access.

In between sending his parents love, the internet has also raised questions about where Wells was ultimately found. Here are some key things to know about Horn Island.

Horn Island Is Only 10 Miles Long

Horn Island is approximately between 10 to 12 miles long from east to west, but very narrow. 10 miles long is the same thing as traveling between 10 to 15 minutes on a highway with no traffic or walking the entire length of the National Mall in Washington, DC at least three times. But it’s only 1 mile wide though and that’s reportedly at it’s widest point. See drone footage of the island and surrounding waters below. 

How Do You Get There? 

Horn Island is about 8-10 miles off the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, according to the National Parks Conversation Association. From Ocean Springs it’d take about 20 to 25 minutes to get there, but only if the waters are calm. Nolan Wells grew up in Ocean Springs and graduated from Ocean Springs High School last year. The main way to travel to Horn Island is on a private boat, like the 18-year-old did with presumed friends on July 4.

What’s The Terrain Of Horn Island Like? 

Horn Island is mostly flat sand, but can switch up quickly. For example, every 200 yards, it can go from white sand beaches to rolling sand dunes, to pine forests, lagoons and even hidden marshlands.

It’s A Designated Wilderness Area With Wild Animals

According to the National Park Service, there are no bathroom facilities, shelter, trash cans, drinking water sources or even staff on the island. However, they allow people to camp, fish, bird watch and boat on and off the shores of the island with the expectation of following the “Leave No Trace” principles. Glass containers aren’t allowed, neither are pets.

That said, visitors are also subject to the animals living on and surrounding Horn Island. Dolphins are known to play and swim close to boats on the beach. The sandy shores are active with crabs and wild oysters in the shallow water, per NOLA.com. On land, there’s marsh rabbits and black racer snakes. And alligators also live permanently in Horn Island’s interior habitats, like lagoons and ponds. Sometimes, per the NPCA, they even sunbathe on the open beaches and swim in the ocean.

New footage circulating online allegedly shows a crowd arguing on Horn Island on the same day of Nolan Xavier Wells‘ disappearance. Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump reposted the video on Instagram after content creator @valsinsights initially shared the footage.

The video reportedly originated on TikTok on Monday, July 6.

Footage From Horn Island Shows Nolan Xavier Wells Amid Crowd Before Disappearance

Nolan Xavier Wells’ body was found on Monday, July 6, on Horn Island, Mississippi, two days after he disappeared following a Fourth of July celebration on Saturday, July 4. The 18-year-old was one of the few Black students on a trip to the island, and his family reported him missing when he did not return with the rest of the group.

The video that has since originated was apparently shot from a distance on a boat. And it appears to show a crowd as one individual is heard yelling. It is unclear who the person was shouting at in the footage.

As the footage pans from left to right, several groups of people are seen watching the argument from different boats. Several groups of people are also wading in the water while watching the argument.

Arguing Can Be Heard On The Video

One of Nolan’s friends told the Sun Herald the college student was a great role model. He added that Wells often broke up arguments among friends when they were younger.

His friend, Trace Carter, also spoke to the outlet and revealed that he had spoken to Nolan just before the trip to Horn Island.

“Just hit me up when you get back,” said Carter. “Just be careful, bro. Watch out for yourself.”

Wells replied, “I got you. I’ll hit you up later.”

Nolan’s best friend, 17-year-old Jayvon Williams, said he was supposed to ride to the island on the same boat as Wells, but it filled up too fast. He rode out to Horn Island on another boat but saw Nolan there around 4 p.m.

“As soon as we got out there, he told me that he loved me,” said Williams, while adding that the two always stuck up for each other.

Williams also noted that his friend visited with a girl on the island.

Nolan Xavier Wells Was Found On Horn Island Two Days After His Disappearance

As previously reported by The Shade Room, Nolan was found off the western tip of Horn Island. He was found two days after he was reported missing.

Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter claims Nolan wanted to stay on Horn Island when the group left.

“From what we understand, he chose to stay there,” he said to Good Morning America, per WLOX.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office is currently investigating, and an autopsy is scheduled for July 7.
