The case of Ma Khia Bryant, the 16-year-old girl fatally shot by police after lunging at another female with a knife, was sent to a prosecutor on Wednesday for review after it was looked over by Ohio s Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
Attorney General Dave Yost announced the development and said officials interviewed 15 civilian witnesses and three police officers in addition to engaging in a complete review of body camera footage, 911 calls, shell casings, and dispatch records.
The legality of the actions will now be determined by Franklin County Prosecutor Gary Tyack, a grand jury, or both, according to the statement from Yost s office.

If any doubt remains about what takes place in the park in the cover of night, McMillan said, the used condoms, discarded syringes and blackened foil he finds strewn about the grounds the next day should put it to rest.
