Demand DOJ Civil Rights Investigation Into the Death of Nolan Wells

We call on the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to open an independent federal civil rights investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Nolan Wells case. The public deserves a thorough, impartial review of the available evidence and of the actions of all officials and individuals involved.
We ask the Department of Justice to determine whether Nolan Wells’s constitutional or civil rights were violated, whether any misconduct occurred, and whether federal intervention or further legal action is warranted. The investigation should include a complete review of relevant records, video evidence, witness statements, official reports, communications, and any other material necessary to establish what happened.
This request is not about prejudging the outcome. It is about ensuring that the facts are independently examined, that any wrongdoing is addressed, and that the public can have confidence that the matter received a fair and transparent review.
We therefore respectfully urge the Civil Rights Division to review the Nolan Wells case and take all appropriate action within its authority.

Why is this important?
Nolan Wells deserves to have the circumstances surrounding his case examined fully, fairly, and independently. When serious questions are raised about whether a person’s civil rights may have been violated, the public should not be expected to simply move on without clear answers. An independent federal review can help establish the facts, determine whether any wrongdoing occurred, and provide accountability where appropriate.
This is bigger than one case. Public confidence in law enforcement and the justice system depends on transparency and meaningful oversight. When people believe serious concerns have not been adequately addressed, an independent investigation can help restore trust and ensure that constitutional rights are protected equally.
By signing this petition, you are not being asked to decide guilt or innocence. You are asking the U.S. Department of Justice to examine the evidence independently and determine the truth. Nolan Wells, his loved ones, and the public deserve answers.
