Lebron James tweeted a picture of the police officer who reportedly shot and killed 16-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant while defending another female from being stabbed with knife a in Columbus, Ohio.
The NBA star captioned the photo “YOU’RE NEXT” with an hourglass emoji and the hashtag #ACCOUNTABILITY.
The tweet was removed after circulating for an hour and it’s unclear if Lebron or Twitter deleted it. However, we were able to obtain a screenshot, and blurred the photo that was tweeted for the officer’s safety.

According to Newsweek:
“The police claim Bryant threatened two girls with a knife on Tuesday when she fatally shot by an officer… The incident occurred shortly before a jury reached a guilty verdict in the murder trial of the former Minneapolis police officer Chauvin for the killing of George Floyd. Bryant’s caused immediate protest in Columbus and is currently under investigation.”
