Letter sent to reporters

Hey Tia

 My name is Terrance Brooks, I’m contacting you in regards to an in justice that was done to my nephew in a Predominant white town in Livingston, Mt.

 On February 10th My nephew Jalen Williams, was found deceased in Livingston, Montana on the side of a road naked. My sister and I went to the town in Montana to get answers from the local law enforcement to get some answers, and upon arrival to the department we was met with such a Nonchalant approach into the investigation of the death of Jalen.

 Jalen move to Montana after he graduated from Loyola in 2020 in hopes to start a different life working as a Rancher for a program called “ HORSES FOR HEROS”, that was referred to him by his formal principal. He resided in Montana for the past few years, he would come back home to Chicago when he has some down time to spend with family.

 Fast forward to  August 2022, he came home to Chicago and stayed for several months before returning to Montana to continue with working with the ranch. Jalen went to Montana around January 28, 2023, we get a call that he passed on the 10th of February that he froze to death, which raised suspicions do to the fact he was knowledgeable about his surroundings and was planning a future in business. 

 The detectives that was handling his case has avoided talking to us face to face knowing we from out of town and  needing answers. They trying to write him off due to the fact he’s a young BLACK man that’s from out of town. 

 My goal as well as my family’s is to put as much exposure on Jalen’s case so that he’s not forgotten and possibly get the answers that are deserved. 

 I reached out to you cause you do an amazing job on shining a light on stories, that people try to deem or have even been swept under the rug, you give that concern of care to sensitive topic, and give a voice to does that need to be heard.

 I pray this reaches you in good spirits, and even if there’s not much you can do investigation wise, but even a beam of light coming from a woman of your stature would brighten this dark situation and even much as your support is well appreciated. 

 We know this is happening around the country and we need the people to be aware, how much cruelty and evilness that’s still in the world we live in today. 

 Thank you I’m proud of you, you  keep moving forward, stay encouraged and I hope everything works out!!
