Did the foster care system fail Ma'khia Bryant? That's what three Democratic lawmakers want to know.

The 16-year-old was shot and killed by police in Columbus, Ohio back in April outside the foster home where she had been living for two months.

The lawmakers wrote a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services asking the agency to help local authorities in their investigation.

They're also seeking an independent federal investigation.
