Ma’Khia Bryant's death in April of 2021 drew national attention. The 16-year-old was fatally shot outside of her foster home by a Columbus Division of Police officer. Bodycam footage from the officer showed the teen engaged in a fight and later holding a knife near another woman. A 10 Investigates’ review of police records found since 2016, Columbus police had responded to Ma’Khia's foster home at least 29 times. Some calls were for fights or other incidents, 16 of the calls were for missing persons reports. Paula Bryant believes the system failed her daughter. "The system failed my daughter, the system failed other children. And there needs to be some reform to the system," Paula told 10TV.
