The Funeral That Shook America: Jasmine Crockett, Trey Reed, and the Questions No One Dares Ask
It began as a quiet headline tucked into the back pages of Mississippi news outlets: “Delta State Student Found Dead on Campus.” But within hours, the name Demartravion “Trey” Reed had traveled far beyond Cleveland, Mississippi. The manner of his death — found h@nged near a dormitory — sent a chill through students, parents, and activists alike. And when Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett announced she would personally pay for Reed’s funeral, the story became something far larger: a lightning rod for grief, suspicion, and an unfolding national conversation about race, justice, and truth.
