Bronx Family Files $60M Wrongful Death Suit, Says Police Responded ‘So What?’ When Toddler Went Missing

The family is suing the police department for wrongful death, negligence, emotional distress, and conscious pain and suffering experienced by Montrell Williams prior to his death.

The mother and grandmother of Montrell Williams, the two-year-old toddler whose body was discovered in the Bronx River by police on June 11, filed a $60 million lawsuit against the NYPD on August 7. The following day, during a press conference, they accused the police of lacking urgency in their search efforts after Montrell went missing on Mother’s Day.

According to Gothamist, Ciera Carroll, the boy’s 17-year-old mother, said in a news conference outside of the NYPD’s 40th Precinct that after she informed them that the father of the child, and the primary suspect in his murder, 20-year-old Arius Williams, had a warrant for his arrest, the NYPD reportedly told her “So what?” in response.

According to CBS News, Williams, who entered a not guilty plea on the charges, is currently charged with murder and manslaughter and is being held without bail.

Rev. Kevin McCall, the spokesperson for the family, said that police were aware of domestic violence in the home, and even knowing that history, a family court still chose to allow Williams to have some kind of custody arrangement with the child.

The NYPD “knew that there was a history of domestic violence within the home, that within the home they knew that the father, the mother, the son, whether it was mental abuse or whether it was physical abuse, they knew that because of the history,” McCall told CBS News.

He also told Pix 11 in a separate statement, “Two-year-old Montrell Williams should be here today if it wasn’t for the NYPD being neglectful in finding him. No amount of money will bring him back, however, the NYPD has to be held responsible.”

“I want the NYPD to know what they did. They told me not to follow him and to go to the police to file a complaint,” Carroll said. “I told the police that he had a warrant, they said, ‘So what?’”

According to her mother, 35-year-old Octavia Roane, the police hung up in her daughter’s face after they said “‘So what’.”

“She’s very hurt right now,” Roane said. “The way the police responded, the way they acted towards us, no care in the world.”

In addition to the mother and daughter’s assertions that they called the police multiple times before the police said that they declared the child missing, the toddler’s other set of grandparents said during their son’s arraignment that they filed multiple missing persons reports and officers took longer than a month to officially launch a search after initially referring them to family court.

“They put them on notice that this child is in danger,” Shiraz Khan, a lawyer representing Carroll and Roane in their lawsuit against New York City said. “No Amber alert was issued at all. And, while this child’s life was hanging in the balance, they were pushed to the side.”

According to the complaint filed with the city’s Comptroller’s Office, ”NYPD officers misclassified the call as a custody dispute, failed to initiate a missing child investigation, failed to issue an Amber Alert, and took no immediate steps to locate or safeguard Montrell.”

Per the claim, the family is suing the police department for wrongful death, negligence, emotional distress, and conscious pain and suffering experienced by Montrell Williams prior to his death, which they allege occurred at the hands of his father.

Although NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch asserted that the department is currently investigating how the investigation was handled, a statement from the NYPD’s is sticking to the story that a missing persons claim wasn’t filed until May 11 was released on Aug. 8.

“We will review the lawsuit if and when it is filed. Montrell Williams was murdered on May 10th. The initial complaint was not reported to the NYPD until May 11th,” the department stated.

The NYPD also released a statement previously, asserting their desire to pursue justice for the murder of the two-year-old.

“The murder of Montrell Williams is an absolute tragedy, and the NYPD extends our deepest condolences to his family. Our detectives are always committed to conducting complete and thorough investigations, and the arrest of Arius Williams is the first step in the pursuit of justice for Montrell’s death,” the NYPD stated on Aug. 4.

South Carolina Civil Rights Activist Rev. Joseph Darby Dies Day After 74th Birthday

Darby served as a pastor for several AME churches across South Carolina.

Rev. Joseph Darby Jr., a faith leader and notable civil rights activist in South Carolina, has died.

Darby’s family confirmed his death occurred Aug. 8, a day after his 74th birthday. The Darbys did not disclose a cause of death, but his loved ones did note that he suffered from a long-term illness.

According to WCSC, the Columbia native graduated from the University of South Carolina. Alongside his activism, the reverend served as pastor to several African Methodist Episcopal Churches throughout South Carolina.

His 48-year tenure as a faith leader included his role as a presiding elder of the Beaufort District of the AME Church. Before his death, he also served as pastor of Nichols Chapel AME in Charleston.

In their announcement, Darby’s sons noted how their father carried his ministry into social justice. He advocated for civil rights issues within and beyond the state, establishing a legacy of leadership and sacrifice to help underrepresented people.

“Dad’s ministry was not confined to the pulpit. He carried it into every room he entered, every cause he championed, and every life he touched. “His sermons stirred hearts and souls, but his actions stirred change,” wrote Darby’s son Jason on social media. “He taught us that faith without works is hollow, and that love (especially for the marginalized) is the highest calling.”

State leaders also expressed their condolences for the Darby family. U.S. Rep. James Clyburn called Darby his “good friend” and a “pillar” to South Carolina.

“Reverend Darby was an extraordinary and gifted man — a community leader, servant, and a faithful man of God,” shared Clyburn. “His career has been marked by selfless service to others that comes not only from his dedication to the ministry, but his innate passion and compassion.”

The family has also yet to reveal any funeral arrangements. However, they remember the Reverend’s impact on his congregation and community for the better. As the patriarch was a 15-year colorectal cancer survivor, they encourage others to get screenings for the illness.

“His wisdom and kindness touched countless lives, and his legacy will continue to inspire all of us who were blessed to be part of his journey. We take comfort in knowing that his life’s work will continue through the seeds he planted in the hearts of those he served and loved,” added the sons in their statement.

Norfolk State Alum To Raise $10M For HBCUs In ‘RIDE4MYHBCUs’ Motorcycle Ride Tour

A HBCU alum decided to spread awareness on the funding HBCUs still need.

A Norfolk State University alum hopes to raise over $10 million for HBCUs in an innovative way.

Rod Bell is as proud of his HBCU education as he is of his hot wheels. He will take his custom NSU-themed motorcycle to the streets in a planned visit to over 100 historically Black institutions.

In the “RIDE4MYHBCUs” tour, Bell will travel across the United States to encourage other alumni and general supporters to help out these illustrious schools. His lofty goal in mind is over $10 million, but he believes his mission will drive others to give back.

A post shared by Rod Bell (@baldheadslick06)

“It is not to bring awareness to HBCUs because people know about them now,” explained Bell, according to HBCU Gameday. “It’s about motivating those to give and donate — and inspiring alumni to give back to their schools.”

Bell sparked this idea after noticing that the vast majority of HBCUs still struggle to stay afloat and progress due to funding issues. Refusing to wait for political shifts to work in favor of these schools, Bell encourages the HBCU community to take matters into their own hands.

Bell believes he can reach his $10 million pledge by building a coalition of 1,006 alumni donors. If each of these donors gives $106 to their institution, that would amount to $106,636 for each HBCU. This would result in over $11.3 million raised overall to help these schools and the future Black leaders they serve.

This money would not only go toward school facilities. They would also extend toward scholarships and other student resources that would help HBCUs compete at an even higher academic level.

Bell said that while the HBCU pride is evident at events and homecoming season, taking care of these beloved institutions must happen year-round. To keep these traditions going, these schools must stay in operation, and require the help of graduates to do so.

“We show up for the parties and tailgates,” he said. “Now, show up for your school in a different way. Give $106 — and challenge five friends to do the same.”

He rides off onto the HBCU trail Aug. 24, but the giving can start today. Those interested can directly donate $106 to their alma maters while writing RIDE4MYHBCUs in the memo. General supporters can also support Bell’s NSU endowment fund through its own donation link.

“This journey isn’t about me — it’s about us and the future of our HBCUs,” added Bell. “Let’s make history together.”

Those wanting to specifically support Bell and his RIDE4MYHBCUs motorcycle journey can do so as well. Corporate sponsors can also help out, contacting ride4myhbcus@gmail.com for any inquiry.

Body Of Black Teen Who Went Missing During Family Trip To Florida Found In Pond

Pelletier's family had hired a private investigation group to find him.

The body of a Black teen who went missing while on a family trip in Florida has been found in a pond.

According to ABC 11, private search efforts discovered the body Aug. 8, with the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office later identifying it as Giovanni Pelletier. Pelletier’s remains were located near his backpack, specifically in a retention pond near an interstate in the Florida county.

The 18-year-old’s family had hired a private investigation group, who ultimately found the body on their first day of searching, despite authorities previously looking through the same area. The teenager was a recent graduate of Fuquay-Varina High School, a public school based in its namesake city in North Carolina.

With the investigation into his death now unfolding, his family now grieves the loss of their loved one. His mother, Bridgette Pelletier, posted to Facebook about the unfortunate turn of events.

“My son was recently found after a desperate search by OUR FAMILY ALONE, and we are still facing an active investigation into his death,” shared the grieving mother. “I am living every parent’s worst nightmare, trying to find the strength to give him the goodbye he deserves.”

Pelletier reportedly sent his mother a “Mom help” text before disappearing Aug. 1. He had left in a car with his cousins to visit his dad’s side of the family in Florida.

Authorities could not determine any foul play upon initial observation of the body. However, they intend to complete an autopsy, with a toxicology report also underway.

His cousin reportedly told authorities that Pelletier was behaving erratically about 20 minutes into their ride. They also alleged that he pulled out a knife, prompting them to leave him on the side of the road.

Pelletier’s mother also told People that the cousins made “no effort” besides one call to to let her know her son fled. A retired FBI Special Agent, Frank Brostrom, also shared that the cousin’s recount of what happened appears “very hokey,” with further investigation needed to reveal what led to his death.

“Maybe he had some kind of episode and panicked, ran out of the car, and you know, fell into the water somehow,” Brostrom said to ABC11. “It just sounds very hokey that that would be the situation, but the fact that he called asking for help several times with different family members is something that they really are probably focusing on.”

Previously covered on BLACK ENTERPRISE, the young man had texted several other relatives asking for help. Pelletier leaves behind four siblings as investigators continue to discover what happened to the teenager.

Mississippi’s Tougaloo College To Form Band For The First Time

Tougaloo College entered into an agreement with Jacktown All Star Band to create the first band in the history of the 155-year-old private HBCU.

On Aug. 5, Mississippi’s Tougaloo College entered into an agreement with Jacktown All Star Band to create the first band in the history of the 155-year-old private, historically Black liberal arts college.

As Dr. Latoya Haymer, Tougaloo College’s Transformation Resource Officer, told WLBT, “We are not just adding music to the campus –we are expanding the heartbeat of this institution. I am incredibly proud to be part of this momentous step forward to our students and community.”

Jonathan Garland, the founder and band director of the Jacktown All-Star Band (JAB), echoed Dr. Haymer’s comments.

“This is bigger than music — this is about legacy, leadership, and giving students something to be proud of for generations to come,” Garland told the outlet.

The partnership between the JAB and the university arrived after months of conversations, planning, and extended discussions about the alignment of values between the school and the JAB, this also culminated in the establishment of JAB scholarships, which offer members of the band a path to education at the university.

Unlike many other HBCUs, Tougaloo College does not have a football program, which is commonly associated with marching bands.

Therefore, the band is expected to give the university an additional avenue to build tradition, identity, and school spirit, as well as pride in the university and the potential to create more exposure for a university that is more well-known for its legacy of contributions to civil rights and as the alma mater of Rep. Bennie Thompson.

According to Visit Jackson, the university has its roots in the story of the Amistad Rebellion, an uprising aboard the ship of the same name wherein captive Africans aboard the ship killed some of their captors and took over the vessel.

The high-profile case related to the rebellion, which saw John Quincy Adams argue on behalf of the rights of those captured Africans to defend themselves from being made slaves, was eventually sent to the Supreme Court, where Senior Justice Joseph Story authored the Court’s decision in favor of the Africans who rebelled.

That history of resistance undoubtedly shaped the atmosphere of the university, as Nsombi Lambright-Haynes, an alumnus of the university and the Executive Director of One Voice, a nonprofit organization, told Visit Jackson.

“The history of Tougaloo College definitely shaped my career path and who I am as a person today. We were definitely fed with all of the history of the Civil Rights Movement regardless of what our major was. We had to attend chapel services and classes about the civil rights movement. Different speakers came in, such as Cornell West, Stokely Carmichael, and Nikki Giovanni. I mean, these people came to our campus on an annual basis while I was a student here,” Lambright-Haynes said.

Restoration, Historic Black Business Hub, America’s First Black Architect, Alabama

Restoration Underway For Historic Black Business Hub Designed By America’s First Black Architect In Alabama

The project expects to be completed in three years, restoring the Prince Hall Masonic Temple to its original legacy.

The restoration of a Black business hub founded by the first Black architect in the United States is in the works.

Located in the Civil Rights District of Birmingham, Alabama, the Prince Hall Masonic Temple served as historic hub for Black businesses during the Jim Crow era. Established in 2022 by Robert Robinson Taylor, the aforementioned Black trailblazer in architecture, the Renaissance-Revival style building offered Black organizations and professionals the opportunity to service Black patrons within Birmingham.

Its particular directory and services led to its nickname of the “Black Skyscraper,” according to the National Parks Service. Although originally a temple for Freemasonry, its eight stories granted an office space for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) as well as the Booker T. Washington Library, the first of its kind in Birmingham to allow Black people.

“The vision was to not only have this be a building for the Masons, but for the larger community,” explained Llevelyn Rhone, director of Direct Invest Development, to WHBM. “A place where you could get those services that you were unwelcome to in other parts of the city at the time.”

Its rooms were filled with dental and doctor’s offices, and even spaces for entertainment, such as a bowling alley and pool hall. Black seamstresses and cobblers could establish work there, while Black people could even sit anywhere within its 2,000 seat auditorium, a rare occurrence during that time.

“If they sat in the balcony of the auditorium, it was by choice, not because they had to,” shared Corey Hawkins, the grand master of the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons of Alabama. “African Americans could enter the front door of the building and not the back door.”

However, economic shifts plagued the country and the temple, leading to the business hub shutting down in 2011. Although gone for over a decade, its legacy and upliftment of Black entrepreneurs remain felt, resulting in the current revival efforts.

The project will take an estimated three years to complete, with expected costs upwards of $30 million. They hope to follow the same communal spirit that fostered its initial construction in 1922, as the surrounding Black community raised the then-costs of $658,000 to fund the venture.

“It’s time for us to pay back and to serve the temple and give it a restoration that will bring it back to its heyday,” added Hawkins.

Its restoration will not only honor the architect, but also the building’s 100-year legacy within Birmingham and Black history. Historic District developers intend to maintain as much of its original structure as possible.

National Black Association Of Black Bookstores Launches To Assist Black Bookstores

The organization was founded by Kevin Johnson, former NBA player, Sacramento bookstore owner, and ex-mayor.

On Aug. 6, the National Association of Black Bookstores, a member-based nonprofit organization, launched to promote literacy, amplify Black voices, and preserve Black culture.

The organization was founded by Kevin Johnson, a former NBA player and the owner of Underground Books in Sacramento, California, as well as the former mayor of the city from 2008 to 2016.

As Johnson told Publishers Weekly, he wanted to honor the memory of his mother, “Mother Rose” Peat West, the original founder of Underground Books, who died in December 2024.

The National Association of Black Bookstores has officially launched, becoming the first national organization dedicated to supporting Black-owned bookstores. Learn more at https://t.co/zLUTxqjexJ #BlackWomenLead pic.twitter.com/IJYhYUi61C

“I wanted to start NAB2 to honor her legacy because she cherished Black bookstores and wanted to see them thrive,” he told the outlet. “My goal in helping to found the organization was to bring the experts together, couple them with significant resources, and ensure that communities could reap the benefits of Black bookstores for generations to come.”

Although the American Booksellers Association has been criticized for not adequately addressing the needs and concerns of Black booksellers, Johnson stressed that those booksellers not join his organization as an alternative to the ABA because he wants to work with them to create more opportunities for Black bookstores.

Among the board members of Johnson’s group are Maati Primm of Marahall’s Music and Book Store in Jackson, Miss., which was founded in 1938, and Yvonne Black of Hakim’s Bookstore in Philadelphia, founded in 1959, as well as and Onikah Asamoa-Caesar of Fulton Street Books & Coffee in Tulsa, Okla., and Dara Landry of Class Bookstore in Houston, both of which were founded in 2020.

In addition, other board members include Jordan Harris of Alkebu-Lan Images in Nashville; Janet Webster Jones of Source Booksellers in Detroit; Blanche Richardson of Marcus Books in Oakland, Calif.; and Troy Johnson of African American Book Lit Club in Tampa, Fla. Lucille O’Neal, best known as the mother of former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, and also an author in her own right, is also a board member.

The board members, specifically Jones and Landry, also noted that NAB2 could be used to build out an entire supply chain to support Black authors and Black bookstores.

According to Jones, NAB2 is “an effort to pull together Black booksellers and stores in an overarching organization that would not just advocate, but also partner with other aspects of the industry. We want these new bookstores to use the resources that are just waiting for them,” Jones continued. “NAB2 can help them with all that. This organization can support and assist in ways we haven’t even figured out yet.”

Ahead of the announcement from Johnson and NAB2, the Black Bookstore Coalition, headed by Ramunda Lark Young, the owner of Washington D.C.’s Mahogany Books, released a public letter disclosing that Johnson wanted the groups to unite under his leadership, but her group ultimately decided against his proposal.

“After thoughtful discussion and a leadership vote, we’ve decided not to align with [NAB2] and will continue our work independently,” Young wrote in her letter. “Our decision was shaped by member concerns about the significant overlap in missions, the timing and rollout of the request, and elements of Mr. Johnson’s public record that warrant reflection and due diligence.”

She continued, “We believe there’s room for multiple efforts to thrive. Groups such as the ABA’s DEI Committee, regional bookselling associations, and many others are also working hard on initiatives that support us and this ecosystem. We believe this work must always be rooted in care, community trust, shared values, and collective vision.”

Sheletta Brundidge Celebrates Black Business Month By Showcasing Minnesota’s Black Entrepreneurs

This initiative is in celebration of Black Business Month

Comedian, radio host, and activist Sheletta Brundidge has worked her magic to get a local supermarket in Minnesota to celebrate Black Business Month by allowing local Black entrepreneurs to showcase their products in their store.

Brundidge connected with Hy-Vee in Robbinsdale to discuss welcoming these small Black business owners in their space Aug. 9, so the local residents can meet them and sample their products.

“We have great products, we’re making salsa in the kitchen, hair care products in our homes, we’ve got the pop-ups at the farmer’s market, but we gotta be there, so we can’t keep creating product,” said Brundidge in a written statement.

This opportunity gives Black small businesses the chance to connect with potential customers, learn more about them and their products, and network.

“It puts a name to it,” said Joe Lowe, store manager at the Robbinsdale Hy-Vee. “So, when they (shoppers) see that product on our shelves, even a month from now, they can remember talking to Sylvia and Liza from Soul Grain about their product, how they came up with it, and it makes them feel good about buying the products in the future.”

The three companies afforded the opportunity were Soul Grain, a granola company from Sylvia Williams, a pastry chef, and Liza Maya, a nutritionist. Nature’s Syrup Hair and Skin Care, a company started by De’Vonna Pittman for plant-based products for curly hair. Nadia’s Jamaican Kitchen served samples from their restaurant, which is located in Brooklyn Park, serving up jerk chicken, curry soup, and other Jamaican flavors.

“If we can get these products on the shelves at the Hy-Vee in Robbinsdale, then we can go back and create more and meet with people to do outreach, versus, whatever we sit there and sell, that’s what we get,” Brundidge said.

Byron Allen’s Media Group Sells 10 TV Stations For $171M

Gray Media purchased the local TV stations.

Gray Media has announced the acquisition of 10 television stations from Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group.

The company stated that the transaction to acquire the stations was for $171 million. With the recent acquisitions, Gray Media is entering three new markets: Columbus-Tupelo, Mississippi; Terre Haute, Indiana; and West Lafayette, Indiana. This will also allow Gray Media to strengthen its service to viewers in the seven other markets.

The television stations to be sold are: Huntsville, AL, WAAY (ABC); Paducah, KY-Cape Girardeau, MO-Harrisburg-Mt. Vernon, IL, WSIL (ABC); Evansville, IN, WEVV (CBS/FOX); Ft. Wayne, IN, WFFT (FOX); Montgomery, AL, WCOV (FOX); Lafayette, LA, KADN (FOX/NBC); Columbus-Tupelo, MS, WTVA (ABC/NBC); Rockford, IL, WREX (NBC); Terre Haute, IN, WTHI (CBS/FOX); West Lafayette, IN, WLFI (CBS).

The transaction between the two companies sis expected to be completed by the end of the year.

This transaction takes place two months after Allen settled a $10 billion lawsuit against fast-food retailer McDonald’s. The parties did not disclose the amount for which the suit was settled. The two companies came to an agreement before the scheduled trial. The entrepreneur sued the corporation over the company’s alleged refusal to advertise with Black-owned companies.

Allen released a statement about the agreement between the two corporations.

“We are pleased to find a resolution that maintains our business relationship,” Allen said in a written statement. “During the course of this litigation, many of our preconceptions have been clarified, and we acknowledge McDonald’s commitment to investing in Black-owned media properties and increasing access to opportunity. Our differences are behind us, and we look forward to working together.”

Three years ago, the entrepreneur placed a $10 billion bid to acquire Disney’s ABC Network, according to Bloomberg. The deal did not go through. However, less than two years ago, Allen also put in a bid to bring the BET Network back under Black ownership, but the parent company, Paramount, decided not to sell BET to anyone.
