The witness said he did not hear racial slurs due to the commotion. Zy’aire’s mother Delphia Robinson still believes that robbery isn’t enough and that additional charges should be filed.

But he put his hands on a minor, he’s 15 and you can’t go around putting your hands on somebody else’s children, let alone a minor.”
The police also said that they will be holding Zy’aire’s bike as evidence and will return it to him once it is cleared.
We reached out to Bishop prior to his arrest, but he declined to comment on the situation.
