Ohio Grand Jury Declines to Indict Police Officers Who Fatally Shot Jayland Walker

Jayland Walker, an unarmed 25-year-old Black man, was shot at over 90 times by Akron police officers during a foot chase, with 46 shots hitting him..
The officers were attempting to conduct a traffic stop on Walker when he fled, firing one shot during the chase before exiting his vehicle.
Walker was found to have fired one shot at officers, who claimed they believed he was reaching for a weapon and firing again, though he was later found to be unarmed.
The decision not to indict has led to protests over police accountability and further eroded trust between the Black community and police.
The DOJ and Walker’s family have called for federal investigations into his death and the practices of the Akron Police Department.
