body of Robert Fuller, 24, was found hanging from a tree in Poncitlán Square in Palmdale, California on Wednesday.
At first, the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner’s office claimed that Fuller died by suicide.
Now, according to the Los Angeles Times, elected officials have joined the calls for justice, as well as an independent investigation into Fuller’s death.
As the Times notes, Fuller’s death comes after another Black man, 38-year-old Malcolm Harsch, was found hanging from a tree last month in Victorville, 50 miles away from Palmdale.
