Relatives of a young woman shot to death by a Polk County deputy last week say the system failed her, and now they’re demanding to know why.
Investigators say last Thursday 24-year-old Jessiram Hweih Rivera came at a deputy with a shovel when he opened fire – killing her.
Rivera’s sister, Shamsie Hweih, 23, says her family still has so many questions.
Hweih doesn’t deny that her sister, the mother of two young girls ages 6 and 2 months, had a history of trouble that includes assault, drugs and battery on a police officer.
But it was brought on, she says, by mental health issues and drug addiction. bit.ly/3oIZzLS

    Love it when someone has seconds to react and people want to back-seat-quarterback the entire thing.
