Responding to a furious backlash to his now-deleted Tweet that appeared to dox the Ohio police officer who shot Ma’Khia Bryant, NBA superstar LeBron James admitted that he had “fueled the wrong conversation” about the 16-year-old.

“I fueled the wrong conversation about Ma’Khia Bryant and I owe it to her and this movement to change it,” James wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to @fabiolacineas for educating us about Ma’Khia and her story and why this needs to be about her.”
