Today marks the third anniversary of the tragic death of Dexter Wade, who was struck and killed by an off-duty Jackson Police Department SUV on March 5, 2023. While the Jackson Police Department initially claimed they could not identify him or reach his family, investigations revealed he had his state ID card with his home address in his wallet, along with a prescription bottle bearing his name. Despite this, his mother, Bettersten Wade Robinson , was not notified for 172 days, during which time Dexter was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave (Grave No. 672) at the Hinds County penal farm. Dexter Wade was finally given a proper funeral and burial by his family on November 20, 2023. #DexterWade #SayHisName #BlackLivesMatter
