"Sinzae’s case is a part of a pattern of gun violence that plagues the neighborhood and is one of the first cases in Franklin County where the controversial stand-your-ground law was evoked as a defense. Reed, Bentley and other residents remain frustrated with prosecutors, elected officials, and local news outlets. Their neighborhood is only discussed as a talking point about violence and is ignored by law enforcement because of their socioeconomic status, they say."

Anger in #Ohio builds following release of man who murdered 13-year-old #SinzaeReed

It's been nearly 4 months since 13-year-old Sinzae Reed was fatally shot by his neighbor Krieg Butler

Butler remains free, released from a murder charge after he told police he acted in self-defense. There’s no indication that Sinzae had a weapon

The boy’s death was declared a homicide after a county coroner’s autopsy found he had been shot twice, including a fatal wound to the chest.

You could discuss #SinzaeReed and #TylerLewis with your students.

Thank you, and have a meaningful #MLKday

There is a "new" trend in US law enforcement.

Along with the summary executions of Black men, women, and children,

there is also the REFUSAL to investigate and prosecute white killers of Black people.

Erie County NY District Attorney John J. Flynn REFUSES to investigate the stabbing to death of college student #TylerLewis on campus of University of Buffalo.

Columbus OH police REFUSE to arrest 36yo white Krieg Butler, who exited his pickup to shoot to death 13yo unarmed #SinzaeReed.

The family of 13-year old Sinzae Reed, who was shot dead back in October at the Wedgewood apartments, is raising questions about the investigation.

This is unsurprising for America, but still horrendous. I hope the family get justice for that poor murdered child.

The DOJ's Civil Rights Division is probably behind the FBI's investigation of Krieg Butler Sr's murder of Sinzae Reed. Vinita Gupta is doing an awesome job.

#SinzaeReed #hatecrime #JusticeMatters

the #sinzaereed story is horrifying and stinks of corruption.

a 36 year old man, who could not legally own a gun because of a prior domestic violence case, gets out of his truck and shoots a 13 year old in the back, killing him then gets back in his truck and drives away. there are multiple witnesses.

he is arrested and then the charges are dropped by the prosecutor.

2 months later, the shooter is still a free man, despite the multiple crimes committed.

#Justice for #SinzaeReed #BLM

It’s not getting any type of viral/media coverage but we have to get justice for Sinzae Reed. A 13 year old kid killed in Ohio by Krieg Butler - who was as freed a week later!

Butler illegally had a gun and wasn’t even charged for THAT. We have to make sure justice is served!
