Summary
$100,000 is now being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in Nolan Wells' death after Al Sharpton pledged $50,000 and Tyler Perry matched it at the 18-year-old's funeral.
Ben Crump said his team has opened an independent investigation, while both the state autopsy and a separate autopsy requested by the family remain pending.
Wells was found in the water off Horn Island on July 6 after being reported missing the night of July 4 when he did not return from a boating trip with friends.
Ocean Springs mourners heard Sharpton demand a full investigation and Crump lead chants for justice, underscoring the family's push for answers as the cause and manner of death remain unreleased.
