Silva also says the HPD could not immediately provide more information about the unidentified man because his body was found “in an advanced stage of decomposition.”
24-year-old Robert Fuller was found hanging from a tree in the Los Angeles suburb of Palmdale, California on June 12.
38-year-old Malcolm Harsch, another Black man, was found dead in similar circumstances on May 31
The 38-year-old was found less than fifty miles from where Fuller's body was discovered.
Hanging from a tree is an image charged with the racist history of lynchings and that both men were found dead near city buildings — Robert Fuller, 24, near City Hall and Harsch, near the public library — is raising questions.
