No Charges for Officer Who Shot 11-Year-Old, Grand Jury Finds

A Sunflower County grand jury has decided not to indict an Indianola police officer who shot an 11-year-old boy during a domestic call. The boy's mother, Nakala Murry, who recently saw the body camera footage of the incident, is calling for its public release. The shooting occurred when Officer Greg Capers fired his weapon as the boy entered the room during a police call. While Capers is relieved by the grand jury's decision, Murry's attorney plans to continue seeking justice through the civil legal process. Arguments over the release of the body camera video are ongoing in a federal lawsuit filed by Murry.
