去年10月，美國密西西比州一名非裔男子卡特（Rasheem
Carter）曾向母親求救，稱自己遭到一群白人跟蹤騷擾，隨後便失去蹤影，直到一個月後才被發現陳屍於樹林中，死狀相當淒慘，不但身首分離，陰莖也被割下嘴裡；詭異的是，警方事後宣稱“無他殺可能”，讓家屬相當氣憤。
根據《獨立報》等外媒報導，密西西比州26歲非裔男子卡特去年10月2日時，曾撥打電話向母親求救，語帶驚恐表示，自己遭到一群白人開著3輛車跟蹤、騷擾；據他的母親回憶，兒子當時還跑進泰勒斯維爾（Taylorsville）警局求助，希望員警可以載他回到勞雷爾（Laurel）的飯店，但警方卻以該飯店不在轄區為由拒絕，隨後卡特便失去蹤影。
This should be as loud as a case like Gabby
Petito. Why isn’t it getting as much attention??

沒想到約一個月後，卡特的屍體在泰勒斯維爾地區某一個林區被發現。據屍檢報告表示，卡特的頭顱被砍下，且遺體有部分骨折，口中沒有牙齒。更加駭人聽聞的是，家屬委託偵探調查指出，卡特的骨頭切麵光滑，陰莖被切下塞進口中，已經腐爛，且仍有部分遺體至今尚未尋獲。
然而報導指出，當地警長辦公室起初表示，這起案件“沒有理由相信涉及謀殺”，令家屬相當氣憤，找來律師召開記者會，直到上週史密斯郡（Smith
County）治安官才表示，此案不排除謀殺可能性；目前密西西比調查局正持續調查案情，以便釐清死因。
It turns out the remains of Rasheem Carter
were found in at least 2 different locations, possibly 3. Rasheem
was the target of a lynching. https://t.co/wSIa7TzuGF
