Community members honored Bryant for making a difference, and her family for showing strength. Author: 10TV Web Staff, Lacey Crisp Published: 1:44 PM EDT April 26, 2021 Updated: 6:08 PM EDT April 30, 2021
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.
0:27 I have spent every waking minute evaluating the facts of this horrific shooting, the legal options at my disposal, and setting the necessary process in motion, Quinlan said. Mayor Ginther and Safety Director Pettus have been the public voices on this. It was critical that I attended to the urgent matter of completing an expedited investigation to deliver to Director Pettus.
Quinlan also said any other officers found to have violated policy will be held accountable. Director Pettus is expected to approve of the firing Monday morning.
Today is Christmas Eve. A time when we should be gathering with those we love. The family of Andre Hill has nothing to celebrate this holiday. Someone very important won’t be with them this holiday, or any other. A Columbus Police Officer is responsible for that. And that breaks my heart.
