Social media continues to fight for justice over the death of 13-year-old, Sinzae Reed, who was allegedly shot and killed by Krieg A. Butler in Columbus

Social media continues to fight for justice over the death of 13-year-old Sinzae Reed, who was allegedly shot and killed by Krieg A. Butler in Columbus, Ohio, back in October. As most will probably recall, Krieg was charged with murder, but on October 19, prosecutors filed to dismiss the case in Municipal Court, leaving his family in complete shock.

“It has been almost three months, and I haven’t spoken to anybody about this investigation,” Sinzae’s mother, Megan Reed, recently told The North Carolina Beat. “I haven’t even spoken to the detective. They are all on his side, Kreig is a white man, and the detective is a white man too.” At the time of Krieg’s arrest, Columbus police homicide detective Keith O’Connor asserted that the incident may have been self-defense, though there was no actual evidence backing up those claims.

Megan previously said she heard someone banging at her door on the night of Sinzae’s death, saying her son had been shot. When eyewitnesses described the suspect, it matched Krieg’s appearance — and though he’s alleged to have fled the scene, police later captured and arrested him. He spent a week behind bars before being released.
