The family of the young, pregnant Black mother viewed the video and on Friday denounced the shooting as a “gross misuse of power and authority.”
Sandriana McBroom, right, and Makhiya Mcbroom, center, light candles that spell out"RIP Kiya" at a vigil held Friday, Aug. 25, 2023, in Columbus, Ohio, for their friend, Ta'Kiya Young, 21, who was shot and killed a day earlier by Blendon Township police outside an Ohio supermarket. Young was pregnant and due to give birth in November, according to her family.
The footage, which comes more than a week after her death, shows another officer at the driver’s side window, repeatedly demanding that Young “get out of the car.” Young’s family members were able to view the footage before its public release and released a statement Friday through their attorney, Sean Walton.
Belford said the delay resulted from a small staff trying to process the video and properly redact certain footage, such as officers’ faces and badge numbers, in accordance with Ohio law. Ta’Kiya’s siblings, cousins, grandmother and father have rallied around her sons, 6-year-old Ja’Kobie and 3-year-old Ja’Kenlie, who don’t yet understand the magnitude of what happened to their mother, Walton said.
