The young man whose suspicious death and reports of his missing organs one year ago has raised FBI brows seeking civil rights violations
Today marks the one year anniversary of the suspicious death of Kendrick Johnson, the 17 year old high school student whose body was found wrapped up in gym mat after an apparent attack in Valdosta, Georgia.
When Kendrick’s body was exhumed for a second, private autopsy, it not only revealed that his death, which was ruled an accident by the coroner’s office, was a homicide, but it also showed that the young teen’s organs were removed from his body and stuffed with newspaper.
The FBI issued a subpoena to obtain the original, unedited copies of the video surveillance footage of the gymnasium where local officials have concluded that Johnson died accidentally by reaching for a shoe inside of the tube of a rolled up gym mat, thus suffocating. A Johnson family attorney, Chevene King, is alleging that the footage was tampered with, especially since the footage has no time codes.
Lowndes County School officials, along with the county’s sheriff’s office, insist that the footage handed over to the family was not tampered with.
CNN, who also received a copy of the footage, has hired Justice Department consultant and FBI instructor Grant Fredericks to analyze over 290 hours of footage from the 35 cameras around the school to find out what happened to Kendrick on that fateful day.
Today, an anniversary rally is being held in his honor at John W. Saunders Memorial Park in Valdosta by supporters of justice for Kendrick Johnson.
