Black man found dead with rope around his neck, NC sheriff says

An investigation is underway after a man was found dead beneath a tree with a rope around his neck. Javion Magee, 21, from Illinois, was found Sept. 11 outside a business on Vanco Mill Road, near Henderson. Magee was located near the base of a medium-sized tree in a seated position with a rope wrapped around his neck, according to the sheriff's office. The other end of the rope was attached to the tree. Candice Matthews, who identified herself as a spokesperson for the family, told WRAL News Magee worked as delivery truck driver and graduated from Longview High School in Texas. Matthews said the family believes Magee's death to be a hate crime. "In my opinion, it's a hate crime because this young man had no indication of suicidal ideation," Matthews said.
