Officials say eight Ohio police officers who fired scores of shots that killed Jayland Walker after a car and foot chase last year are back on active duty
The eight Ohio police officers who fired scores of shots that killed Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, after a car and foot chase last year are back on active duty, officials said. Akron Capt. Michael Miller, in a statement, cited a state investigation and an Ohio grand jury's decision against indicting any officers in the June 2022 shooting death of Walker. As a result, he said, 'all eight officers are back on full-time, active duty.
Some of the officers first used Tasers to try and stop Walker, but he reached toward his waistband and raised a hand as officers were chasing, Yost said. The officers, not knowing that Walker had left his gun in the car, believed he was going to fire again, Yost said. In April, a Summit County grand jury declined to indict the eight officers, who fired a total of 94 shots in just under seven seconds, hitting Walker 46 times.
