Two weeks ago, Macomb Police responded to a domestic violence call that left two people dead, including four-year-old Terrell Miller. Now, his family is demanding answers.
The family of a Black 4-year-old boy who was shot dead by police responding to a bloody domestic violence incident are considering taking legal action.
Macomb Police say they were called out to answer a domestic violence call on the night of March 16 and had to “forcibly” gain entry after observing “blood in a common area of the complex” and “screams for help coming from inside an apartment.” “He was a very special child,” said Verneata Jones, who the family has said was like an honorary grandmother to Terrell. “He was an angel that God sent to us. Everybody that came in contact with Terrell fell in love with him. He always had that Kool-Aid smile.”
In a video, Miller explained that she had previous run-ins with the police while experiencing mental health issues and was constantly harassed. When Miller was pregnant in 2019, she said she ran into a Macomb police officer who asked if she was having a boy or girl.She explained how terrified she was for herself and Terrell, who also appeared in the video while sitting in a stroller.
In an email to The Daily Beast, Illinois police said no further information is being released at the moment “to protect the integrity of the investigation.” Anger about Terrell’s death erupted online, with many social media users questioning why the little boy was killed and paying tributes for a young life cut tragically short.“I am writing to propose a meaningful initiative to honor the memory of Terrell Miller within our school community. Terrell Miller's legacy embodies values of unity, diversity, and inclusivity that are essential for fostering a positive and supportive educational environment,” the WatchMeWork Creations CEOposted.
