The heartbroken mother of a Mississippi teen who died after he was run over by a police cruiser last week is mourning the milestones she'll never get to see her only son achieve.
“I never [will] have the chance, an opportunity, to see my son grow up and become the young man I always knew he was going to be,” Kaychia Calvert said Friday about her 17-year-old son Kadarius Smith.
Kadarius Smith.Courtesy Ben CrumpSmith died after being run over by a Leland police cruiser early March 21, according to attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Calvert, and the city attorney representing police.
The teen’s death has been agonizing, Calvert said.
“He’s supposed to graduate next year. I’m not going to get the chance to see that. He was going to move to Georgia to start his life. I’ll never see that. … If he would have had kids, I will never get the chance to see that. I will never see anything — nothing.”
