Protesters gathered in downtown Akron, Ohio, Sunday night to protest the fatal police shooting of Jayland Walker. The 25-year-old Black man suffered more than 60 gunshot wounds.
Chief Steve Mylett saidfor unspecified traffic and equipment violations, but less than a minute into a pursuit the sound of a shot was heard from the car and a transportation department camera captured what appeared to be a muzzle flash coming from the vehicle. Mylett said that changed the nature of the case from"a routine traffic stop to now a public safety issue."
Mylett said he has watched the video dozens of times and Walker's actions at the time are hard to distinguish, but a still photo seems to show him"going down to his waist area" and another appears to show him turning towards an officer and a third picture"captures a forward motion of his arm." A firearm and a shell casing were discovered in the vehicle Jayland Walker was driving before he was fatally shot by police officers on June 27, 2022.State Attorney General Dave Yost said the video does not show all the details:"The body-worn camera footage is just one view of the whole picture."The shooting has sparked outrage from the community. Akron NAACP President Judi Hill said demonstrators are demanding"full accountability and prosecution" of the involved officers.
