after he called 911 for help is suing the city, the police chief and the officer accused of the shooting.
Officer Greg Capers responded to the house and instructed everyone to come outside, according to the lawsuit. As Aderrien "was coming around the corner of the hallway that lead into the living room area, he was instantly shot by Defendant Officer Capers," the lawsuit says. Nakala Murry and her son both said they want to see the officer who shot Aderrien fired from his job. Capers has been suspended, the Murry family's attorney Carlos Moore told the Associated Press last week.
"With living in the South, Mississippi, especially, sometimes you feel that you can trust the police a little more when they your own color, your own race," Moore told Good Morning America. "But now this man, this young boy, would never trust law enforcement again."
