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. "Mr. Walker then reached for his waistband in what several officers described as a cross-draw motion, planted his foot and turned toward the officers while raising his hand," Yost said, adding that officers were unaware Walker was unarmed after exiting the car.
"I want to say again, my deepest condolences to the loved ones of Jayland Walker, his friends, his family remain in my prayers and my thoughts," said Akron Mayor Daniel Horrigan following the grand jury announcement, acknowledging that it took roughly nine months for the grand jury to be seated and come to a decision."Jayland was the best," his mother, Pamela Walker, saidlast year.
