Ma’Khia Bryant was shot four times April 20 by Officer Nicholas Reardon as she swung a knife at a young woman just seconds after pushing another woman to the ground. Bryant was Black and Reardon is white. The shooting further heightened tension in Ohio's capital city overfatal police shootings of Black people, which has included three other high-profile deaths since December. A week after Bryant's death, Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther invited the Justice Department to review the police departmentfor possible “deficiencies and racial disparities.” But Bryant's killing also cast a light on the state's foster care system, with an attorney representing the slain teen's family calling for an investigation of the system and whether girls in the foster home were properly supervised.
