Minutes before Derek Chauvin received a guilty verdict for the murder of George Floyd, a young lady lost her life after being shot by an officer during a fight.
On 4/20/2021 Columbus Police Department received a 911 call from a female who provided an address and the reason for her call.
"It's these grown girls over here tryna fight us... tryna stab us... tryna put her hands on our grandma... get here now... we need a police officer here now... ."
Here's the released audio recording of the 911 call in it's entirety
Below is the 1st bodycam footage released in the shooting. The video shows when the first police officer arrived to the scene of the incident.
Upon arriving, the officer asked a woman wearing pink what was going on, seconds later you then see a young lady who has been identified as Ma'Khia Bryant going after another young lady who fell to the ground. The officer yelled "hey" 4 times as the fight continued. In the video you see a man kick at the girl on the ground as Bryant charged after the girl in the pink with a knife. Seconds after you hear the police officer yell "get down" several times, then you hear 4 gunshots being released from the officer's gun.
After the shooting, you hear the man involved in the incident ask if Bryant's been shot, the officer replies: "She had a knife she just went at her" then the man said, "she's a (censored) kid".
