“Aderrien nearly lost his life… It’s not right for a cop to do this and get away with it. Mother asked Aderrien to call the police. He left his room, following the instructions of the police, and they shot him,” said family lawyer Carlos Moore.

The lawyer added that the boy had nothing in his hands when the policeman shot him, so this could not have been a response to the threat.

The Indianola Police Department confirmed that the name of the officer involved in the shooting Greg Capers and an investigation is ongoing to find out what made him shoot.
