It has been 4 days since 5 year old Khayzier Pugh was struck & killed by a unmarked police vehicle on 4th Street between Tyler & Polk Streets in South Troy. According to today's Record, the child's family is still looking for answers, plus an apology from Troy Police Det. John Wright for what happened.
In truth, the family should be asking themselves one salient question: Who is really at fault here? It isn't Det. Wright. According to reports, he was driving below the speed limit. At 5, Khayzier still needed an adult to chaperone him to the South Troy Pool, where he had a cousin waiting for him. At the time of the accident, there was no adult present. Therefore, the fault lies with the family. Khayzier's aunt Jessica was in her mother's apartment when the accident happened. Were there any other adult relatives available that could've acted as a guardian/chaperone in this case? We don't know, and probably never will.
