Fortune's death has worried locals in Jackson, a majority-black city in a state with a history of racial violence and lynching.

If it was that quick then it was probably pretty widely known who did it and there previously no interest from the police in actually bringing justice to the person/persons responsible.

Some of those who work forces are the same that burn crosses.
