Clyburn | C000537 | clyburn.house.gov | clyburn | https://clyburn.house.gov/press-releases/ | scraper | COLUMBIA, SC — Today, Congressman James E. Clyburn released the following statement on the murder of Cyrus Carmack-Belton. “I’m horrified and deeply saddened by the senseless murder of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton in Columbia this weekend. His family and loved ones should be celebrating his recent eighth grade graduation from Summit Parkway Middle School. Instead, they are mourning this unimaginable loss. My prayers are with them and the entire community during this devastating time. “This tragedy should have never happened. The criminalization of Black men and boys and the historic trend of painting them as aggressors have time and again led to deadly and heartbreaking circumstances. Cyrus Carmack-Belton has since been declared innocent, but his supposed crime of shoplifting a bottle of water should not have cost him his life. I pray justice is swift.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:55:44Z |
