MANSFIELD - Ma Khia Bryant s grandmother wants people to know about her.
Bryant, 16, was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon by a Columbus police officer. About 25 people gathered Saturday afternoon on the downtown square for a rally organized by the Mansfield Peace Coalition. My name for her (Ma Khia) was Beautiful, Debra Bryant Wilcox said. She was a timid child. It was hard for her to fight back. She got bullied a lot.
The video of Tuesday s incident shows officer Nicholas Reardon exiting his cruiser and approaching a group of people involved in an altercation.
As seen on the body-camera video, Ma Khia Bryant pushed or swung at a person who then fell to the ground.
Battlebox Studios store and gaming lounge in Milwaukee s central city was facing plunging revenue in spring 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic struck.
One year later, the small, Black-owned business is on more solid ground and is planning to expand by purchasing an adjacent warehouse and vacant lot from the city. It s turning into a hub, said Bryant Wilcox, who operates Battlebox, 5431 W. Lisbon Ave., with his wife, Joyce Wilcox, and son, Bryant Adams.
Battlebox has agreed to buy a 2,100-square-foot vacant lot at 5413 West Lisbon Ave., and a two-story, 4,100-square-foot warehouse located just behind the lot, at 2510 N. 55th St.
That s according to a new resolution pending before the Common Council.
