Colin Kaepernick to pay for independent autopsy of Delta State student found hanging
SUMMARY: Ben Crump, attorney for the family of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, announced that Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative will fund an independent autopsy after Reed, 21, was found dead by hanging on Delta State University’s campus. Though a state autopsy ruled Reed’s death a suicide and no foul play was suspected, the family received conflicting information and sought a second autopsy. The initiative expedites autopsies in suspicious deaths free of charge. Investigations have been handed to the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office, following a request from Rep. Bennie Thompson. Kaepernick, a former NFL player and activist, supports the family’s search for truth.

Trump praises Charlie Kirk as ‘great American hero’ during memorial service
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump called slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom at a memorial in Glendale, Arizona, attended by tens of thousands including Vice President JD Vance. Kirk, founder of Turning Point and a key figure in mobilizing young Christian conservatives, was fatally shot at a Utah college on September 10. Speakers emphasized faith, family values, and doubling down on conservative goals to honor Kirk’s legacy. Kirk’s widow forgave the suspect. The shooting sparked a fierce debate on political violence, free speech, and has led to backlash against critics of Kirk within the Trump administration’s sphere.
