SUMMARY: WREG is seeking records and bodycam footage of an incident in Southaven, Mississippi, where a police officer allegedly pointed a stun gun at 9-year-old Ahmar Anderson on Nov. 7. The officer mistook him for a robbery suspect, but Ahmar was wearing a purple and white letterman jacket, not matching the description. Ahmar’s mother, Shaquita Anderson Wade, believes he was targeted due to his size and race. Despite the incident, Ahmar has received support, including from police officers, and his mother hopes he feels safe calling the authorities in the future. The matter is under investigation, and footage is not yet available.
