Authorities claim Pike posed a threat, stating that she was holding a knife during the encounter. Family members and witnesses, however, dispute this narrative. Her infant daughter, Destinii Hope, was also killed in the incident. The case is under investigation, and the exact number of shots fired or the officer responsible has not yet been disclosed.
.
Mitchell Holder, Maria's boyfriend and the baby’s father, recounted the traumatic events. He described the police entering their apartment and an officer firing a weapon, killing both Maria and Destinii. Holder claimed he did NOT see Maria holding a knife, as police allege. He is deeply traumatized and expressed deep grief and demanded accountability for what he described as an unjust act by the officer.
.
Maria’s twin sister, Nina Book, shared emotional memories of Maria, highlighting her love for children and resilience despite postpartum struggles. Nina criticized the police’s actions, alleging that their lack of compassion led to the deaths, and revealed her belief that the baby was shot first. She mourned the loss of her sister and niece, recounting her last conversation with Maria, who had expressed joy about her new baby and a determination to provide a better life for her. Nina traveled to Missouri for the funeral and to visit the site of the tragedy, describing her anguish and the close bond she shared with Maria. Both family members continue to call for justice and accountability as the investigation, led by Blue Springs Police Department, remains ongoing. Maria and her twin sister were immigrants from Russia.
.
TOTAL CASUALTIES DURING THIS POLICE ENCOUNTER: 2 dead.
