Brackney’s statements were in response to Councilman Kenneth Stokes and a letter from Fortune’s mother, who lamented the lack of information about her daughter’s death and what she said was the lack of communication from investigators. “I’m not sure what you can do, but if you need me to present I will travel to Jackson so my voice is heard. Stokes, who shared the letter, said, “Hanging is an ugly, ugly part of our past that we never ever want to come back again.” Spivey previously told Mississippi Today that she believes her daughter was killed but was not the victim of a hate crime. Authorities have identified a person of interest, who was arrested on an unrelated gun charge.
