A grand jury in Missouri has reportedly reached a decision on Monday afternoon on whether to indict Darren Wilson, the white police officer who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, according to NBC News.
Although it has been confirmed that the grand jury has reached a decision regarding the Ferguson shooting case, it is still unclear when the results will be announced.
The impending results of the shooting in Ferguson, which occurred in August, has reportedly left the town very nervous as protests are to be expected depending on the grand jury's decision. Benjamin Crump, a lawyer or the Brown family, reportedly stated the family had been notified of the results and that the relatives were "praying for an indictment, and they're trying to put their faith in their justice system."
The shooting of Michael Brown has caught the attention of those outside of Ferguson as well. Launder Hall and Ray Mills reportedly ran a shocking 550 miles from Atlanta, Georgia to Ferguson, Missouri to visit the teenager's memorial, according to the media outlet Think Progress.
"The Mike Brown incident happened and I had a reason to run for not just my problems, but the problems of the world. I came to Ray with the idea of running to Ferguson to raise awareness of what's going on here, and he was behind it 100 percent. In our society we get complacent and things come and go, like Trayvon...and Mike Brown, so I wanted to do something that was meaningful and kept an eye on Ferguson," stated Hall, a 28-year-old Florida native.
When the two men finally reached Brown's memorial, Hall reportedly immediately dropped to the ground and began to cry.
"My experience was putting myself in his shoes the entire way," he explained.
The runner continued, ""From [Shnucks, a local grocery store], we had the locals walk us [to the memorial] and tell us the story. When I got here I broke down and cried because I was in his shoes and felt the same pain that he would feel, and that the community felt. I know there's a lot of tension, and I can just feel the energy here and my soul cried out."
