Police shot Nakala Murry's young son in Mississippi. Now she could lose custody of her kids.

Nakala Murry (shown right) could potentially lose custody of her three kids after a Mississippi police officer shot and wounded her son, 11-year-old Aderrien Murry (shown left) in May 2023 after calling 911 for a domestic incident at the family's home.

A Mississippi mom could lose custody of her three children nearly a year after a police officer shot and wounded her 11-year-old son in their home.

In a new court filing obtained by NPR, Sunflower County, Miss., officials reference the May 2023 police shooting of 11-year-old Aderrien Murry and accuse his mother, Nakala Murry, of neglecting her three children, including Aderrien, during the domestic incident.

Aderrien had called 911 for help. He was seriously injured after Sgt. Greg Capers of the Indianola, Miss. Police Department shot him in the chest.
