The three-part docuseries Uprooted (out Feb. 18) tells the story of Keith Warren, who was 19 when his body was found hanging from a tree in 1986.
Authorities said that a 19-year-old Black man, Keith Warren of Silver Spring, Maryland committed suicide. They determined the July 31, 1986 death was self-inflicted at the scene without a criminal investigation or autopsy. The tree was cut down and his family was not informed for over six hours. Keith's mother spent the rest of her life fighting to uncover who murdered her son. Keith’s sister, Sherri, has spent the last 34 years investigating his death, hoping to change the death certificate to reflect the truth. Racial tension were high in the area and some suspect his color was a factor. Sherri believes someone wanted to silence him. U All episodes will stream Friday, February 18 on discovery+.
