Trymaine Lee is an MSNBC columnist, correspondent, and podcast host.

It had been 24 days since Dau Mabil vanished while on a walk in Jackson, Mississippi. And in the last few of those days, his family and a growing number of supporters began to think the unthinkable, that a body fished from the Pearl River over the weekend was his. And worse, that he was murdered. On Thursday, they got confirmation of the former, while the latter worry still looms. “He was always my little brother,” Bul Mabil, Mabil’s older brother, told NBC News.

The state said the move was aimed at bolstering crime reduction in the city. But the optics and history of the majority-white state Legislature usurping power from the majority-Black city of Jackson created a political firestorm fueled by a long history of state-sanctioned racism. The mysterious case of Dau Mabil’s disappearance lands squarely at the center of that fevered policing-turned-political squabble. “The NAACP is not backing down from this fight,” said Johnson, who lives in Jackson.
