Rasheem Carter, a Black man from Mississippi who went missing late last year after claiming he was being targeted by white men in his community, was found dead with his head severed from his body, according to a recently released independent autopsy.
In light of the results, Carter's family is calling for a federal probe into his death, arguing that the police explanation that there was no foul play does not hold water.
Smith County Sheriff Joel Houston told ABC News the department stands behind its earlier determination that no foul play was involved in Carter's death. Earlier evidence "didn't suggest anything," he said.
"Nothing is being swept under the rug," Houston said. "There's nothing to hide."

The family of a black man in Mississippi whose body was found dismembered has asked the US government to investigate his death.
Rasheem Carter, 25, called his mother last October and asked for help after he said a group of white men in trucks were chasing him in Laurel, Mississippi, his mother said this week.
His body was found in the woods a month later.
The local county sheriff's office said it did not suspect any foul play.
