Ma'Khia Bryant's family calls for federal probe into Columbus police shooting, foster system

The family of Ma’Khia Bryant, the 16-year-old Black Ohio girl shot to death by police after lunging at two women with a knife last week, is calling for a federal investigation into both her shooting and her placement in the foster care system.

She said the girl’s life had been "cut short by many of our failing systems," including the Columbus Division of Police and Ohio’s child services agencies.  "We are going to investigate every agency that had the time and the opportunity to prevent Ma’Khia’s death," she said.
