White people killed at least 13 black people during the next two weeks. Among those killed were Hayes and Mary Turner.

Hayes was killed on May 18, and the next day (May 19), his pregnant wife Mary was strung up by her feet, doused with gasoline and oil then set on fire.

Mary's unborn child was cut from her abdomen and stomped to death. Her body was then repeatedly shot.

No one was ever convicted of her lynching.

This video includes graphic images of lynching.\n
