A federal investigation has concluded that a young Black man died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a rural Missouri home, not at the hands of the white homeowner who had a history of racist social media postings, an FBI official told The Associated Press Wednesday. Derontae Martin, 19, was at a prom party on April 25, 2021, when he died in an attic closet. The death was initially ruled a suicide.
Madison County Sheriff Katie McCutcheon said an initial autopsy indicated Martin died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the head. The Missouri State Highway Patrol was asked to investigate, and it concurred. About 100 racial injustice activists staged a protest march in Fredericktown shortly after Martin's death. Gray said at the time that counter-protesters tossed two nooses at protesters and yelled racial slurs.
