Just before two rival West Virginia high school basketball teams were about to face off, an African American player walked into the guest locker room and found a drawing of a stick figure hanging from a noose.
It was a drawing of a stick figure hanging from a noose. The face was colored in, and an arrow pointing to the figure was labeled"Jace" -- a clear reference to Jace Colucci, the only black student on the Westside High School team.Wyoming County Schools, the district where the incident occurred, said in a statement to CNN that the investigation has been turned over to the West Virginia state police.
Cook, who is representing the family through Warner Law Offices, wrote in an email to CNN that the school district did not share the findings of that investigation with the family, nor did they identify who the students were and what disciplinary measures had been taken.Things escalated Friday and ended up further embarrassing and humiliating her son, Ayers said."They crossed the line with the noose," Ayers said."That is a threat on his life. It is a hate crime.
