In early October 2013, Miriam Carey was shot to death after what police described as a brief high-speed car chase from the White House to near the U.S. Capitol that was captured in part on video.
Law enforcement has said that she was mentally unstable and that there was not enough evidence to prove the officer s use of deadly force was excessive. Her older sister, Valarie Carey Reaves-Bey, doesn t believe that. They shot an unarmed woman who wasn’t a threat to anyone, she said. She was treated unjustly. Her life was taken away from her.
She remembers Miriam as a high achiever who was beautiful inside and out and loved to cook, travel and entertain. She said the 34-year-old dental hygienist, one of five sisters, lived in Connecticut but spent her weekends visiting family in Brooklyn, New York, where each sibling would sometimes bring a different dish to their mother s home. It s an image in stark contrast to the one painted by police.
