On the morning of April 18, 16-year-old Mikayla Miller was found dead in the woods a mile from her home in Hopkinton.
The police called her death a suicide — but Miller’s family is still seeking answers. http://bos.gl/7SVMGLh ">https://bos.gl/7SVMGLh&q...

Calvina Strothers, Miller’s mother, said her daughter, who is Black, was attacked by five white teenagers the day before as fallout from a fight Miller had with her girlfriend.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Miller’s death does not appear to be a hate crime.
She said an investigation is ongoing, but there is not enough evidence to press charges against the teenagers involved in the fight.

Community activists and leaders are calling for further investigation and transparency.
Representative Ayanna Pressley tweeted Tuesday night that there “needs to be a full, transparent, independent investigation into her death.” http://bos.gl/g9AF4o9 ">https://bos.gl/g9AF4o9&q...

Miller’s case is absent from Hopkinton public record logs, and the Globe was denied access to records related to the attack and death due to the “ongoing active investigation.” http://bos.gl/9FyD5Pp ">https://bos.gl/9FyD5Pp&q...
Strothers and others are asking: If Miller wasn’t a young Black girl, would the case have been handled differently?
Ryan said the notion that Miller’s case was neglected or covered up due to her identity is “patently false.” http://bos.gl/9FyD5Pp ">https://bos.gl/9FyD5Pp&q...

Monica Cannon-Grant, founder of Violence in Boston, is hosting a rally in Hopkinton on Thursday with Strothers and former Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson.
“There has been a lack of transparency and accountability out of DA Ryan’s office,” @ProRockThrower said.
