Jonathan Sanders, a 39-year-old unarmed black Mississippi man, died after an encounter with a police officer, Kevin Herrington, on July 8, 2015 in Stonewall, Mississippi. Witnesses say Sanders' breathing was obstructed by officer Herrington for as much as 30 minutes, and that Sanders died at the scene. At his July 18 funeral, 1000 people attended, equivalent to the population of Stonewall. The FBI was reported to have joined the investigation into Sanders' death. At the end of August, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation was working on their report, and the FBI did not comment on the status of their inquiry.
