"Mississippi Family Seeks Justice for Teen Killed by Police"

The family of 17-year-old Kadarius Smith, who died after being run over by a police cruiser in Mississippi, is seeking answers and accountability. Attorney Ben Crump, representing the family, described the officer's actions as "unconscionable" and called for the officer's termination. The city attorney for Leland stated that the officer has been placed on paid leave and the investigation has been turned over to the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. The family is devastated by the loss of their "smart," "outspoken," and "independent" son and is determined to uncover the truth surrounding his death.
