AKRON, Ohio — Jayland Walker's family is outraged, according to the family's attorneys, after newly released body camera footage of Walker's death shows the moments following the fatal police shooting.
"After they shoot and end the life of Pam Walker's son, they turn off their mics. They turn off their cameras. What did they say? What did they do?" Walker family attorney Bobby DiCello said at a press conference on Tuesday."They'll come up with a reason why they could turn off the cameras. But probe, ask those questions. In the face of this insult, we're still here.
One officer orders all the officers who shot at Walker to separate themselves from the scene. Several officers then tell each other to"go blue," prompting officers to shut off the audio being recorded from the officers' body cameras, the footage showed. Activists called for civil disobedience in the wake of the fatal police incident, asking for the Akron Police Department to end violence against protestors, as well as implement an independent citizen oversight board for the police.
Officials said a flash of light seen in body camera footage appeared to be the muzzle flash of a gun coming from the driver's side of Walker's car.
