She was 14.
Her death, at the Helen DeVos Childrens Hospital in Grand Rapids, was caused by Covid-19, her grandmother Alisa Niemeyer wrote in a post on the website GoFundMe.
The incident occurred on Dec. 6, 2017. Honestie had stepped out the back door of her home with her mother and another family member to go to the store when they were confronted by police officers with their guns drawn.
Put your hands on top of your, an officer ordered them before he was interrupted by Honesties mother screaming, She is 11 years old, sir!
Stop yelling!, the officer responded, as recorded by an officers body camera. He ordered Honestie to walk backward toward him with her hands up.
