Nolan Wells' 3 Friends Sue Terrell Owens Over 'Arrest Them Immediately' Post

Summary
Three friends of Nolan Wells — Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo and Morgan Seymour — sued Terrell Owens in federal court, saying his Sept. 26 X post falsely cast them as killers and part of a coverup.
Owens amplified a video alleging the men deleted Snapchat messages from Wells' phone after his death, but a digital forensics expert hired by the family's attorney said the phone was not accessed before Wells' parents got it.
The lawsuit was filed Monday by the fathers of the three men, who are all under 21 and therefore minors under Mississippi law; the post remains online and the friends say they received death threats.
The case follows a Sept. 22 grand jury finding that Wells' death was consistent with drowning and recommending no charges, even as his family disputes that conclusion and has asked the FBI to investigate.
