COLUMBUS, Ohio — Community members packed into the First Church of God on Friday for a funeral service honoring the life of Ma’Khia Bryant.
Bishop Timothy Clarke led the service at the church on Refugee Road.
“She didn’t live long, but she lived well and she made a difference,” Clarke said of Bryant.
The 16-year-old was fatally shot by Columbus police officer Nicholas Reardon on April 20. Body camera video shows Bryant lunging at another woman with a knife.
