On Monday, a 24-year-old black man named Robert Fuller was found dead, hanging from a tree outside the city hall in Palmdale, California. Authorities claim that it was"an alleged death by suicide," but his family, friends, and people in his community are not buying it and are demanding for further investigation and an independent autopsy.
People are saying that the city officials were too quick to rule the incident a suicide, and that it was more likely that Fuller was murdered."Sadly, it is not the first such incident since the COVID-19 pandemic began," the city initially said in a statement, per ."The city remains committed to addressing mental health issues during these difficult times. We are in this together."But as more people rallied and made their voices heard over the weekend, the city changed their tone. When the sheriff's department held a press conference to announce preliminary findings, crowds showed outrage.
Celebrities like Viola Davis, Becky G., Kim Kardashian, and Jameela Al Jamil are among the thousands who have supported the call for justice for Fuller.
