TL;DR Summary

Body camera footage released by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation shows the moments leading up to an Indianola police officer shooting and wounding 11-year-old Aderrien Murry after he called 911 for help. The officer, Sgt. Greg Capers, was cleared of criminal conduct by a grand jury, but the family has filed a $5 million federal lawsuit. Questions remain about the police response and the information given to officers before they arrived at the scene. The case has drawn comparisons to the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice in 2014.
