On November 28, dozens of people from across the state assembled at the gates of the governor’s mansion in Baton Rouge to demand justice for Quawan Charles. Charles’ family reported the 15-year old Quawan missing on October 30 yet Baldwin, LA police failed to investigate or issue a missing person’s alert. Three days later, Quawan’s mutilated body was found in a creek near a sugar cane field. Quawan’s stepfather Jason Nelson spoke against the racist double standards at play and said that there should have been a “Quawan alert” since an “Amber alert” had not been issued. With the support of the community, Quawan’s family promised to keep fighting for justice. “[The police] are going to just sit down behind their desk and wait, and wait, and wait and think we’re going to forget,” he said. “There’s no statute of limitations on murder, so just like they’ve got forever to wait, we’ve got forever to keep fighting.”
