A Teenage girl named Makiyah Bryant got killed in Columbus on Tuesday after Police fatally shot her to death.
While the verdict of George Floyd’s death was being heard, the United States has gone through a next relative incident.
Makiyah Bryant allegedly attempted to stab two people with a knife, as per the bodycam video released by the Police officers. Authorities cited that they responded to a 911 call of an attempted stabbing before the incident.
The Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting of Makiyah currently.
Witnesses mentioned that the shooting happened just within a guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin (who recently divorced his wife Kellie Chauvin) Case of George Floyd’s murder.
Makiyah Bryant’s Age: How Old Is She?
Makiyah Bryant was 16 years of age just before she died.
Just looking at her age, Bryant was born somewhere around the mid-2000s.
Makiyah’s real age was baffling since the news portal cited her as 15 years old, but her mother confirmed the local news 10TV reporter Lacey Crisp that she was 16.

Makiyah Bryant’s Family Details
Makiyah grew up in a Black family.
Bryant’s mother’s name is Paula, who confirmed her name and age on local news. She mentioned that Makiyah’s real name was ‘Ma’Khia Bryant.’
Likewise, Hazel Bryant came forth with the identity of being Makiyah’s aunt after she got killed in Columbus. Hazel mentioned, “Makiyah was an extremely loving child. I’m just shocked. I just don’t even know what to say. It’s like an out-of-body experience.”
What Is Makiyah’s Net Worth?
The reports might be baffling when it comes to the net worth of Makiyah.
Since she was a teenage girl, no job details were recorded in her name. Looking at her age, she might be pursuing her academic years rather than being in professional vocations before her death. Her mother stated that she was an honor roll student.
Nevertheless, she might have rejoiced her parent’s financial support.
