A. Vince Colella is serving as co-counsel with noted national civil rights attorney Ben Crump in a racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the School District of Lee County, the School Board of Lee County, and several individual defendants in Fort Myers, Florida.
The lawsuit underscores a disturbing narrative of bias and exclusion within the school district’s Fort Myers High School and its sports program, where “M.T.,” an African American student-athlete, encountered numerous obstacles solely based on his race. The case has caught national media attention, with Colella and Crump both interviewed by ESPN to dig deeper into the story.
Crump is known for such high-profile discriminatory wrongful death cases as Breonna Taylor, a young Black woman shot in 2020 by police in Kentucky after they stormed her apartment with a warrant for her boyfriend. Colella and Crump have previously worked on other cases together, including the fatal shooting of an unarmed man by a deputy sheriff in Harris County, Texas.
