The NAACP has called for an investigation into the possible lynching of a 32-year-old African American in the small agricultural Florida town of Belle Glade.

The family of Feraris “Ray” Golden found his body in May dangling from a tree outside his grandmother?s home. They said he was found with his hands tied behind his back. Police though concluded that Golden had killed himself and said his hands were by his side. At the time of his death, Golden was dating a white policeman’s daughter.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a lynching hasn?t been documented in over 20 years in the United States.
