Letter: Comments in response to protest
The article that appeared in The Lima News on April 11 was totally incorrect. I did not make statements about Lima Police Chief Kevin Martin as reported.
The protest was in response to no charges filed against Zachary Copeland for the shooting death of 16-year-old Mekhi Williams. Copeland stated someone robbed a gun and synthetic marijuana where he was staying. Copeland cocked a gun at a group of people who he believed was involved in the robbery, which means he took matters into his own hands, escalating the situation. Copeland didn’t know who committed the robbery of the gun and 2 pounds of illegal drugs, but Mekhi Williams is dead at his hand.
