On October 6th, 15 year old Jaheim McMillan was shot multiple times by Gulfport police in Mississippi and was taken off life support in the hospital. Police claim Jaheim was armed and not cooperating but refuse to release any camera footage to support these claims.
As a black person, I’m fucking devastated and exhausted. Fuck the police. This child had his whole life ahead of him.

Hey, guys. I haven't reblogged one of these types of posts in a while, the ones listing victims of police brutality here in the USA. This time, I'm making the post.
Jaheim McMillan was a 15-year-old boy who was shot and killed on Saturday, October 8th, at a Family Dollar not far from my home. Police are claiming he was "armed and dangerous", thus why they shot him in the head first before even attempting to negotiate with him, then proceeded to handcuff him, and then shoot him another 7 times.
The police then handcuffed his mother when she tried to go to him and dragged her away.
But this? This is a lie. My mother spoke to the general manager of the store and asked her what happened. This woman knew Jaheim for years, as he came by frequently as he and his family lived in walking distance to the store. She said he walked out of the store with a Snickers bar and that's when the gunfire started. She said they shot throughout the store, and confirmed the police shot him AFTER handcuffing him.
Jaheim was a 15-year-old black child and was only killed out of racism, that much I know for certain. And I know my state. I doubt that ANYTHING will be done to the pigs who killed him, especially given that we just had a big event down here and have one this week as well.
There is a GoFundMe for Jaheim's mother if you can support her trying to get justice for her son's horrific murder.
A Community Demands Answers After the Death of Mississippi Teenager Jaheim McMillan at the Hands of Police

A community is in search of answers after a 15-year-old boy in Gulfport, Mississippi was killed by a police, reports WWLTV.
On October 6th, Jaheim McMillan was killed in an officer-involved shooting outside of a Family Dollar. According to the account of authorities, McMillian along with a group of teens, were aiming guns at passing vehicles. The officers approached the group outside of the store and ordered McMillian to put down his gun.
“McMillan did not comply,” said Police Chief Adam Cooper. “McMillan turned both his body and his weapon towards the officer. The officer fired at McMillan.”
Since the shooting took place, the department has not released the body cam footage of the fatal encounter. Surveillance video obtained by protesters allegedly shows that the Gulfport police officer shot McMillan without cause.
“It clearly shows [McMillan] took three-and-a-half steps from that [Kia Soul], three-and-a-half steps to a death sentence,” said Jacob Blake Sr., whose son, Jacob Blake, was shot by a Kenosha, Wisconsin police officer in 2020.
The footage, which came from a business across the street from the Family Dollar shows McMillan running from an officer, according to Pastor Carl Soto of Black Lives Matter Restoration Polk and Families United for Justice.
“Jaheim was running for his life. He was scared,” said Soto. “He was running because the officer jumped out with the gun already pointed at him. The officer started chasing him down and firing his weapon at the same time.”
Jayla Agee, one of McMillian's friends, is still in shock about his untimely passing and said that he had so much to live for after his funeral.
“It was unbelievable because, like, why? Why would you do something like that, especially to a child,” Agee said. “He was only 15, and still had a life ahead of him and you took that away from him, not caring. You just did it carelessly.”
Four other teenagers have been arrested and charged with aggravated assault in the case.
A funeral service for Jaheim took place on Wednesday, October 26th and was livestreamed on Facebook.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is currently overseeing the investigation.
