Aiyana Jones : 7-year-old shot and killed by Detroit police
7-year-old Aiyana Jones was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police busted in with their guns blazing.

7-year-old Aiyana Jones was asleep on the living room sofa in her family’s apartment when Detroit police busted in with their guns. They were looking for a murder suspect who lived on the second floor of the house.
Aiyana’s father, 25-year-old Charles Jones, told the news that he had just gone to bed early Sunday after covering his daughter with her favorite Disney princess blanket when he heard a flash grenade followed by a gunshot. When he rushed into the living room, he said, police forced him to lie on the ground, with his face in his daughter’s blood.
“I’ll never be the same. That’s my only daughter,” Jones told the Detroit Press.
“I saw them (police) running with my daughter out of the house. They had my mother on the floor, and they just kept me there for like two hours,” Jones told The Detroit News. “I knew it was bad, and they probably had my baby at the hospital, because someone asked me if she had any allergies.”
“Her blood was everywhere and I was trying to stay calm, but nobody would talk to me. None of them even tried to console me.”
When is enough, enough? The Unheard Voices family would like to extend it’s condolences to the Jones family. What a terrible tragedy.
