Attorney for Nolan Wells' friends doubles down on Terrell Owens' calls for justice: "Don't let everyone down"

Ocean Springs, Mississippi - An attorney representing several friends of Nolan Wells, the Mississippi teen whose body was found after he went missing during a Fourth of July boat outing to Horn Island, is doubling down on football legend Terrell Owens days after he got served over the weekend.

What has transpired over the last five days likely wasn't on Owens' bingo card. What started with the Hall of Famer getting served at a meet-and-greet ahead of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's homecoming football game on Saturday, November 7, has evolved, and it's all thanks to an attorney representing three of Nolan Wells' friends.

Attorney Edward Andrew Paltzik, who represents Warren Hudson, Jax Pitalo, and Morgan Seymour – three friends of Wells – has continuously aimed at Owens in the days that followed. On Tuesday, he urged Owens not to "let everyone down" and asked him to "enlighten us" when asking why he thinks "Warren, Jax, and Morgan need to be arrested."

Owens landed on Paltzik's radar due to prior comments he's made regarding Wells' mysterious death and the circumstances around it. Like many others, Owens has voiced his opinion publicly about the case and whether the three friends Paltzik represents were involved in his disappearance and/or death.

This led to Paltzik drafting a defamation lawsuit on his clients' behalf. The attorney claimed Owens was avoiding being served, per Front Office Sports, leading to him getting served during last weekend's meet-and-greet at his alma mater.

While Owens didn't appear bothered when he was served or after the fact once video of the moment surfaced, posting on X, "Hey Edward. 😂 Not worried. 👍🏾 🤷🏾‍♂️ God is good," he doubled down on Tuesday, which led Paltzik to do the same.

"I CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL JUSTICE IS SERVED, #JUSTICEFORNOLANWELLS," Owens posted on Tuesday before again calling out Paltzik. "Hey Ed, you can’t save those kids and me saying what I said is freedom of speech."

Paltzik then replied, "Save those kids from what, exactly, Terrell?" Before sharing a different post of Owens where he calls for the three boys who Paltzik represents to be arrested, writing, "Since you seem to know everything, and you already claim that I 'can't save those kids,' go ahead and explain right now why Warren, Jax, and Morgan need to be arrested.

"Don't let everyone down. No backing down now. Enlighten us. Own what you said and what you wrote. Or, admit you were wrong and apologize. No middle ground," Paltzik said on X.

This isn't the first time Paltzik has threatened legal action against someone who has suggested his clients should be questioned further, as he previously claimed in August, they would be taking legal action against Reverend Al Sharpton, who then said he "welcomes" a defamation lawsuit.
