“Our thoughts and prayers remain with Reed’s family and friends during this very difficult time,” Cleveland Police Chief Travis Tribble said in a statement.
As we previously reported, Reed’s family had been dissatisfied with what they and their attorneys, including Ben Crump, said was a lack of transparency on the part of the police department, and a rush to declare that “there is no evidence of foul play” regarding Reed’s death.
Delta State Director of Public Safety Mike Peeler was asked about that video evidence on Wednesday.
“I want to begin by acknowledging that the manner how Trey was discovered has stirred many emotions in this community and many emotions around the state and the nation,” he said, adding that, due to the controversy, Delta State has received threats recently.
