Body Of A Young Black Man Found Hanging From A Tree In Palmdale, CA
The body of a Black man in his 20s was found hanging from a tree near City Hall in Palmdale, CA around 4 a.m. on Wednesday morning (June 10). Lieutenant Brandon Dean from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Homicide unit reported that the man’s body was found with a rope around his neck in Poncitlan Square.
The man has been identified as Robert Fuller by Diamond Alexander, who said she is his older sister on Facebook.
“Words can’t describe how much my family is hurting right now,” Alexander captioned a photo of Fuller on Thursday (June 11). “Today we just got word that Robert body was found hanging in a tree out in Palmdale. It’s still under investigation. If anyone seen anything please come forward. Brother you will forever be in our heart. RIP.”
Dean said that all indicators point at suicide, however, investigators will not confirm until they gather information from the family regarding his mental health, and an autopsy report is completed.
City officials referenced COVID-19 alongside Fuller’s death, claiming “it is not the first such incident since the COVID-19 pandemic began.”
Some family members aren’t buying the suicide story and says the authorities are being silent regarding the investigation.
