Sorry, this was Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
She was asleep in her bed when officers from Detroit SWAT entered her home with a warrant for the arrest of someone who did not live here. The police entered the wrong home. The cops did not come alone, they came with a film crew for a reality tv show.
For the crime of being asleep on the couch next to her grandmother, she was shot in the head. In seconds, of the cops entering her life, she was dead.
Her family was shattered.
The cop was charged and faced trial repeatedly but not convicted of a crime for her death. I guess the jury thought even a sleeping black child is scary enough to warrant death.
There is no happy ending here.
