CLEVELAND, Miss. (September 19, 2025) – Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump today announced that the Colin Kaepernick “Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative” will cover the cost of a second, independent autopsy for Demartravion “Trey” Reed. Reed’s family will seek the autopsy as soon as Reed’s body is released by the state medical examiner.
Trey’s family has raised serious concerns after receiving conflicting accounts and incomplete information about the circumstances of his death.
“Trey’s death evoked the collective memory of a community that has suffered a historic wound over many, many years and many, many deaths. Peace will come only by getting to the truth. We thank Colin Kaepernick for supporting this grieving family and the cause of justice and truth.”
