Justin Mosley
Justin Mosley, 21, died on April 18, 2021, at the Raymond Detention Center in Hinds County, Mississippi, where he was held awaiting trial. Officers found him hanging in his cell, and he was pronounced dead less than an hour later, according to the Hinds County Sheriff's office. The sheriff's office said the cause appears to be hanging, and an earlier report said the death was ruled a suicide, while the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the coroner were called in to investigate. Reports say he had been held for 16 months before his death, and the sheriff had described delays in mental-health evaluations caused by a shortage of space.
Cause of death, as reported: Died by suicide
