#Roommates, as the nation continues to be outraged at the death of 16-year-old MaKhia Bryant, more details have been released surrounding the events that led up to her death. MaKhia Bryants foster mom recently revealed that the argument that led up to MaKhias death involved MaKhia and two other foster daughters arguing about cleaning up.
According to an exclusive interview with @CNN, Angela Moore, the foster mother of MaKhia Bryant, stated that her two former foster daughters visited her home in Columbus, Ohio to celebrate her birthdayand thats when an argument erupted between the two young women and MaKhia. The argument reportedly was due to their belief that MaKhia was not keeping the house clean. It was over keeping the house clean. The older one told them to clean up the house because Mom doesn’t like the house dirty. So that’s how it all started, Moore said. Moore also added that it was normal for the girls to argue frequently. They argue all the time, but I never thought it would escalate like that.
Angela Moore said during the fight, she got a call from one of the former foster daughters (seen in the body cam video wearing pink when MaKhia lunged at her with a knife) who told her Mom, get home. Where are you? They’re going crazy. She said they shot MaKhia. When she got home, a police officer told her MaKhia had died. I never in my worst nightmare would have thought it would ever come to this, she said.
The fight ultimately transferred to outside and got so heated that MaKhia picked up a knife to reportedly defend herself. MaKhia called Columbus police and officer Nicholas Reardon showed up, shortly after arriving on the scene, he shot MaKhia four times in the chest and she died after unsuccessful attempts to be revived.
As we previously reported, Columbus, Ohio police are currently investigating the tragic shooting as national outrage has sparked calls for Nicholas Reardon to be charged with murder.
