It was Valentine’s Day when Ma’Khia Bryant, 16, moved into the foster
home where her younger sister had lived for more than a year. The girls
were close, and would dance and make TikTok videos together, while Ms.
Bryant nurtured a constant hope: to one day live again with her
biological mother.
“That’s all she said, was, ‘I want to be with my mom,’” said Angela
Moore, who said she provided foster care for Ms. Bryant and her sister
on a quiet block on the southeastern edge of Columbus, Ohio.
Those dreams were cut short after a Columbus police officer fatally shot
Ms. Bryant on Tuesday afternoon, just moments after arriving at a
chaotic disturbance outside her foster home. Body-camera footage
released by the Columbus police appears to show Ms. Bryant holding a
knife as she lunges toward another person a moment before she is shot.
Her death fanned new waves of sorrow, anger and protest on Wednesday,
its timing — just minutes before a jury in Minneapolis convicted Derek
Chauvin in the murder of George Floyd — a grim reminder of an unceasing
tally of killings by the police.
As the White House on Wednesday described Ms. Bryant’s death as
“tragic,” law enforcement authorities in Columbus pleaded for patience
from the community as they released 911 calls and new body-camera videos
showing the frenzied moments surrounding her shooting.
