Died in jail or a lockup
Name not reported
In 1921, a Black man was held in a jail in North Carolina when a mob took him from the jail and killed him by lynching. He was one of two Black men taken from the jail and killed that night, according to a January 1922 report in The Colorado Statesman. Because the account is from 1922 and is the only source for these events, the records here are limited to what that report states.
Cause of death, as reported: Taken from custody and lynched
