Brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. and the Nu Epsilon chapter at Alabama A&M University, an HBCU where Jelani Day attended, launched a petition to demand the FBI investigate the Black man's suspicious death in Illinois.
Jelani Day, a graduate student from Illinois who went missing nearly a month ago, was found dead earlier this month before being positively identified on Thursday. The lack of media attention to his disappearance stood in contrast to cause célèbre Gabby Petito.
