Nolan Wells' loved ones are gathering Monday to say their final goodbyes. The 18-year-old's life ended far too soon, and TMZ is streaming the funeral live.
The service is happening now at Center Pointe Church in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Rev.
Al Sharpton is officiating, and family attorney Ben Crump is delivering a call for justice.
Nolan disappeared after traveling by boat with friends to Horn Island for a Fourth of July gathering.
His friends returned to the mainland without him, and his body was found two days later on the island.
Friends told investigators Nolan chose to stay behind because he believed he could catch another ride. His parents have publicly questioned that account.
Crump is conducting an independent investigation. Official autopsy and toxicology results remain pending and are expected to be presented to a grand jury.
Colin Kaepernick paid for an independent autopsy, and Tyler Perry paid for the funeral.
