Crump, who arranged for the independent autopsy, said he was sharing Peretti's initial findings.
A representative of Crump's confirmed that the home address was the same as his mother's, Bettersten Wade.
She reported her 37-year-old son missing on March 14, nine days after he was struck by a police cruiser as he was crossing a highway.
The investigator said he called a number listed for Bettersten Wade but did not hear back.
The coroner’s office investigator reported that he also shared Dexter Wade’s information with police.
Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said last month that Wade was “without identification” and police were not able to identify him.
There is no excuse, not even incompetence, for not notifying a next of kin of an identified man’s death. »
