Ma'Khia Bryant shooting: 'Girl in pink' from bodycam footage doxxed, moves to Cleveland after death threats

The 'girl in pink' said people online think she 'should be beat or killed' after Bryant's death

Following the death of teenager Ma'Khia Bryant, 16, in a police shooting, the bodycam footage that was released by cops has now made the other girl in the video a target of online bullying and death threats, allegedly.

Dubbed as 'the girl in pink' - a moniker she got for her outfit seen in the footage - the girl appeared to be fighting with Bryant in the video. Bryant allegedly charged at her with a knife. Cops had responded to 911 calls about the fight in Columbus, Ohio, outside the foster home where Bryant was living at the time.

Soon as news of the incident reached the internet, social media broke into an outcry, as it was the same day George Floyd's killer ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin was found guilty on multiple counts of murder. Bryant's loved ones also claimed that she had placed one of the 911 calls that came from the foster home.

While authorities are yet to reveal the identity of the callers, FOX 8 reports Bryant was seen lunging with a knife in her hand. The other two women in the video footage were identified as the older foster children from the same home, who got into the altercation with Bryant over house chores, revealed their foster mother Angela Moore.

The Internet has however been able to dig up the identity of the woman clad in pink, who can be seen being escorted from the scene at the end of the bodycam fotage, saying Bryant "fucking came at me with a knife.” Soon after her address was revealed, FOX 8 reports that the woman told them how people online think she “should be beat or killed” and that someone claimed “they were on their way to her current address to kill her.”

Social media posts also show the hatred she had earned online, with people tweeting how "The girl in Pink had something to say about why the Police fired #makhiabryant." Others are calling out how "The kicker to me is....home girl in the pink pulled up to the one in the blacks house to jump her with some friends....."

Others have also claimed "There are SO many politics at play in Ma’khia’s murder. Not only was she black, she was fat, which made her a bigger threat to the “girl in pink” that people are so concerned about, even though the girl in pink was the one who showed up to Ma’khia’s house with backup to jump her." Bryant died on April 20, just hours after the historic verdict that held Derek Chauvin, the White former police officer, for killing a Black man, George Floyd.

Officer Nicholas Reardon fired four shots at the 16-year-old Bryant, killing her on the spot. In the bodycam footage, a man can be heard shouting, “she was just a kid!” moments after her body fell to the ground. Recounting the incident, Moore told CNN, that their argument was “over keeping the house clean." She added, "I never in my worst nightmare would have thought it would ever come to this."  The 'girl in pink' has reportedly been moved to Cleveland to avoid people acting upon the alleged doxxing.
