Kapital FM 92.9 The Station that Rocks!
In a split second, 11-year-old Aderrien Murry, who’d called 911 for help, was shot in the chest by Capers, the video shows.
“Oh my God,” Capers can be heard yelling as Aderrien screams, gets to his feet and runs out the front door. The boy survived, but suffered a collapsed lung, fractured rib and lacerated liver.
The Murry family has since sued the police department, accusing it of reckless disregard, gross negligence and poor training and supervision of its officers. In the past seven months, they’ve also repeatedly called for the public release of Capers’s body-cam footage. The video was made available this week by Mississippi’s Department of Public Safety following a lengthy probe into the shooting by the state’s Bureau of Investigation.
