Paul George demanding answers after black man found dead hanging in Palmdale, his hometown

Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George joined those demanding answers on Friday night after a black man was found dead hanging from a tree in Southern California this week.

Robert Fuller was found dead hanging from a tree near city hall in Palmdale just after 3:30 a.m. on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Times. He was 24.

The death was initially reported as an apparent suicide by the Los Angeles County medical examiner-coroner’s office, per the report. However, many have questioned the legitimacy of that conclusion.

George, who is from Palmdale, took to social media on Friday night calling for answers.
