Change.org - Ruled a suicide

Warning: The following contains descriptions of violence.

Amani Kildea is a 20-year-old Black man who was found hanging in a tree in Morristown, New Jersey earlier this year. He was just an hour from his home. Amani’s death was ruled a suicide by the authorities with no investigation. Petition starter Taylor believes this was a modern-day lynching. They are demanding the case be reopened immediately. Add your name to demand justice for Amani.
JUSTICE FOR AMANI KILDEA

Amani Kildea was a 20 year old man found hanging in a tree in Morristown, NJ. His death, without investigation, was ruled a suicide. Amani has goals and dreams to be in the FBI or CIA one day. He was set to attend James Madison University in the fall of 2020.
Amani was found an hour away from where he lives. His death doesn’t make any sense and I am asking you to sign this petition to bring to light the racial injustices black men face every day. This clearly could have been a racially charged lynching and Amani deserves better than to have his death ruled a suicide without further investigation.
Amani was an adopted child of white parents from Ethiopia. He was an active vigilante in his community helping to bring child predators to justice. The IG account associated with him and his friends is @Pedogotcaught. This was not even a factor when considering his death. You cannot physically hang yourself from a tree. No ladder, no nothing. Let’s reopen this case and get more answers. His life matters. #BlackLivesMatter
