In February 2019, she and three of her siblings were removed from their mother and lived with their paternal grandmother for 16 months. Ma'Khia Bryant was a 16-year-old Black girl who lived in suburban Columbus, Ohio. Her shooting, which prevented her from stabbing another girl, was later deemed a justifiable homicide. The case went to a grand jury and on March 11, 2022, it declined to charge Reardon. The case was investigated by state authorities and then referred to local authorities. Reactions from the public included both support of the actions of the officer and protests against the killing. Reardon and other officers on the scene administered first aid, and she was transported to the hospital in critical condition, where she was later pronounced dead.
Bryant immediately collapsed and was unresponsive. Released body camera and security camera footage show Bryant brandishing a knife and charging two women consecutively, leading up to the moment Officer Reardon fired four shots Bryant was struck at least once.
