Aderrien Murry: Audio and video offer clues on shooting of boy, 11, by police

Attorneys have released 911 dispatch audio tapes that suggest mistakes were made in the lead-up to police shooting an 11-year-old boy in Mississippi.

It follows last week's release of body camera footage from the moments before Aderrien Murry was shot in his home after calling police for help.

He suffered a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and a lacerated liver. His family is suing the city where it took place.

The officer involved has been cleared of criminal conduct and reinstated.

The flurry of new information about the May 2023 shooting in the city of Indianola follows a nearly seven-month probe by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI).

Last month, the state's attorney general said Sergeant Greg Capers will not face charges after a grand jury determined the bureau's findings showed no evidence of criminal conduct on his part.

Sergeant Capers, who was placed on unpaid istrative leave after the shooting, has since re-ed the Indianola Police Department.

But the Murry family has continued to argue the shooting was not justified, with Aderrien's mother, Nakala, pushing for footage from the incident to be publicly released.

The newly released 911 recordings raise questions about whether Mr Capers knew there was a child in the house when he and another officer responded to domestic disturbance calls placed by Ms Murry's mother, who was not there, and then by Aderrien.
