INDIANOLA, MISSISSIPPI- Aderrien Murry, an 11-year-old boy, was shot by a police officer after calling 911 for help. The incident occurred on Saturday, May 22nd, at the child’s home, where the officer was responding to a domestic disturbance call.
According to Nakala Murry, Aderrien’s mother, she asked her son to call the police after the father of another of her children arrived at her home and became irate. However, when the police arrived, the situation took a turn for the worse. The police officer shot Aderrien in the chest.
Aderrien spent several days in the hospital, receiving treatment for a collapsed lung, fractured ribs, and a lacerated liver. Fortunately, he has since been released from the hospital and is now recovering at home.
The family of Aderrien Murry is calling for the officer who shot him to be fired and charged. They have requested the release of body camera footage as evidence, and their attorney, Carlos Moore, has accused the police officer of attempted murder.
The Indianola Board of Aldermen has placed the officer on paid administrative leave while the shooting is investigated. However, the officer has not been named by investigators, and the police department has not released any additional statements regarding the incident.
This recent tragedy raises important questions about police brutality and accountability for their actions. It is not the first time that a police officer has shot a child in Mississippi. In 2019, an eight-year-old boy was accidentally shot by a police officer during a traffic stop.
Furthermore, this incident highlights the dangers that can arise from domestic disturbances and the need for police officers to receive better training on how to handle such situations.
The shooting of Aderrien Murry is a reminder of the need for increased police accountability and transparency. It is imperative that the investigation is conducted fairly and thoroughly to ensure justice for Aderrien and his family.
In the words of Carlos Moore, “we need to hold the police officer involved in this shooting accountable for his reckless and dangerous actions.” The family of Aderrien Murry deserves answers and justice for what happened to their son on that tragic day.
