The shouting, which stemmed from a heated argument, woke up an 11-year-old boy. That evening her mother and her ex-husband had an argument at home.

The child called 911 to intervene and a team from the Indianola Police Department in Mississippi, United States, arrived at the home. But the one who was injured during the procedure was the minor.

Aderrien Murry’s mother and her ex-partner left their home with their hands up as they responded to the police call. The minor burst into the living room of his home and an officer fired his gun. The woman’s son fell to the ground and was shot.

The events took place in May 2023 and the victim’s mother filed “a $5 million lawsuit against the city for excessive force,” Noticias Univisión reported on January 7, 2024.

He discussed Univision News that images recorded by the body camera of the officer came to light.

That officer was identified on CNN en Español as Greg Capers.

What happened to the boy from Mississippi?

The boy’s mother, Nakala Murry, “asked Aderrien to call the police after the father of one of her other children arrived at her home after 4 a.m.” He was angry.”

When the child collapsed, the mother fell into absolute despair, trying to stop the bleeding. The bullet had hit the right side of his son’s chest.

Aderrien Murry later told CNN that during those minutes he sang the gospel song, “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.” “Then he told his mother to tell his family and his teacher that “he was sorry for what he had done.”

Aderrien told CNN “that he told the operator the man did not have a gun.” Furthermore, “when police arrived at the house, Nakala also told police that his ex-partner did not have a gun.”

Aderrien said with great maturity: “The police shouted at everyone in the house to come out with their hands up.” “I just tried to follow the police orders, but I guess it didn’t work,” he said.

The child was intubated and connected to a ventilator, CNN reported. “He had a collapsed lung, broken ribs and a ruptured liver,” the mother told the American press.

It felt like a Taser, like a big blow to the chest.

The minor also stated a few months ago that a recurring image came to his mind as a result of what had happened: “Sometimes I think people are looking at me. But the most important thing I think about is that I am dead, in the coffin.”
