Since the untimely death of her son Danyé Dion Jones in October 2018, Ferguson activist Melissa McKinnies has been on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the 24-year-old.
McKinnies found Jones hanging from a tree in the family’s backyard, and St. Louis County Police ruled the death a suicide. But McKinnies has long maintained that Jones was not suicidal, and that he may have been murdered.
