Family will be joined by national civil rights attorneys Harry Daniels
and Ben Crump as community calls for answers 

The family of Jada West, the 12-year-old who died just days after a
fight that erupted at a school bus stop in the Atlanta suburb of Villa
Rica, GA, will speak out with their attorneys at a news conference
Monday morning (March 16) at 10:45 AM inside Mt. Prospect Baptist Church
(133 Thomas Dorsey Dr., Villa Rica, GA). West’s family is represented by
nationally renowned civil rights attorneys Harry Daniels and Ben Crump
as well as attorney Gerald Griggs. 

Video of the fight which ultimately killed West has gone viral on social
media has sparked local and national outcry and raised serious questions
particularly since the 12-year-old had suffered repeated bullying since
recently transferring to Mason Creek Middle School. 

In addition to West’s family, the news conference will also feature
remarks from attorneys Daniels, Crump and Griggs after which they will
answer questions from the media.

Twelve-year-old Jada West, a student at Mason Creek Middle School in
Douglas County, Georgia, died days after a fight that happened shortly
after she got off the school bus. 

West collapsed near her home in Villa Rica on March 5 following an
altercation with another student that reportedly began as an argument on
the bus and continued after the students exited. 

Video obtained shows West and another girl fighting in the street while
other children stood nearby. The reason for the altercation has not been
confirmed.

After the fight ended, West reportedly walked away and headed toward
home before collapsing. A friend ran to notify her parents. 

West was first taken to Tanner Medical Center before being transferred
to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite, where she fell
into a coma and later died on March 8, the outlets reported. 

Authorities have not yet determined the official cause of death. An
autopsy is underway. 

West had recently enrolled at Mason Creek Middle School in January, and
her family told FOX 5 Atlanta that she had experienced bullying since
starting at the school. 

“I don’t understand. And she was on the ground, she wasn’t breathing,”
West’s mother, Rashuna McLendon, said. “I’m so angry. We have to teach
our children to love.” 

The family has also raised questions about how the other girl involved
in the altercation ended up on the same school bus, telling FOX 5
Atlanta they believe she does not live in their neighborhood. 

The Villa Rica Police Department is investigating the incident, and
officials say the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office is reviewing
video of the fight to determine whether charges could be filed. 

In a statement shared with media outlets, the Douglas County School
System said it was “deeply saddened” by the student’s death. 

“We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to her family and loved
ones during this difficult time,” the district said in part, noting that
the incident did not occur on school property or during school hours.
