Uhhhhhhh I hate to hear this and also sounds like a story we have heard before. I have to admit I do not feel safe in spaces where WE are all not…. This is sad
As someone who was in a similar situation like this at the age of 19 I’m praying for this young man and his family 🙏🏽❤️
A sad but unfortunately very familiar tale.
A fisherman found him dead 😔
sigh we know what happened, right? damn it
He’s been found deceased, unfortunately.
Today we’re going to learn how to apply discernment when hanging out with people that don’t look like you.
He was found dead. The warning for Black people: DO NOT be the only Black person partying with white folks where drinking is involved. Treat it like the police encounter warnings. Reminder of the lone Black woman at slumber party that ended up dead.
I hope he gets found, I really do but my mom always warn me about being the only black person in areas for this exact reason , its scary
Black teen. Missing. Mississippi. My goodness. The places my mind immediately went. Especially after looking at the folks in those pictures. I hope he's found safe and sound.
He will be found alive and well.
Even back when I was in high school I knew how dangerous ( for myself ) to be the only black friends in a group, especially growing up in the south. My heart breaks for his family. And why haven’t I heard them “friends” being questioned by police
We've heard this story before.😪
See now … lemme bite my lips
If you are a black parent, please talk to your child about having white friends only can lead to their death, keep our black children safe and aware of the people they hang around with
Yea his "friends" are too YT for me. And they did it.
18-year-old, football player, Nolan Xavier Wells was last seen on July 4th on Horn Island in dark swim trunks and sunglasses. Anyone who saw Wells is asked to call Jackson County Deputies with information to help with the search for the missing teen. #BlackskyNews www.wlox.com/video/2026/0...
Please don't ever be the only Black "friend" in a group of white people on a trip. Just don't do it, this keeps happening. Because what do you mean they have his phone but they don't know where he is?! I really hope they find him alive, I'm not confident they will.
This story cannot keep repeating itself unaddressed. No matter whose offspring may be involved.
This is giving Tamla Horsford energy
I want parents to educate their kids about why it’s wrong to be the only Black person amongst a group of wypipos
I hope they find him alive and well!
A Wells family member has made a statement about the body found. Confirming that the body just discovered is Nolan Wells.
No friend group comes back home with one of their members missing and acting like it's no big deal.
Drag each and every one of those “friends” of his into an interrogation room A-TF-SAP!
And this why our Elders say don't go on trips if you're the only Black person in the group. Shit like this STILL happens in the big 2026
Tragic... Heartbroken for them. The 3 of those friends need to be investigated.
Tragic but not surprising. I hope the family gets justice.
I have a "funny" feeling that the boys will be coached to say it was a random act of rough housing that went too far, that the black teen started it and when the "incident" happened, they suddenly didn't know what to do and it was a rush of the moment.
I saw the story on an IG post and when I saw the group shot, I knew that baby was gone. His 'friends' all need to be charged talmbout they don't remember what happened but them bitches made it back home safe. Stop letting our babies go with these savages.
Them white boys def killed him and they need to put them in prison.
I am so tired of this happening to us. Especially our youth.
Lots of questions need to be answered !
The Nolan Xavier Wells situation is giving me flashbacks of when I was in middle school and got abandoned by my White classmates and so-called “friends” in the middle of upstate New York My “aunt” Judith had to make the drive from NYC to pick me up when I was stranded on the road
bsky.app/profile/sean... = More about my “aunt” Judith, for those who don’t know
ugh I'm so sorry that happened to you; that must have been bewildering and terrifying and lonely
I hope that poor kid is found safe and I'm sorry other kids were so horrible to you.
