Jayland Walker’s death following an attempted traffic stop and chase, touched off days of protests and renewed discussions around the treatment of Black people during routine police encounters.
During that pursuit, officers “reported a firearm being discharged from the suspect vehicle,” police said. They pursued Walker’s car on an expressway for several minutes, then chased on city streets, according to the statement.
released by the department showed several officers running after Walker as they screamed commands at him to stop.At one point, the officers appeared to stop running. A hail of police gunfire is heard in the video. Walker was pronounced dead at the scene. Kohler said he sustained 15 gunshot wounds to his torso, 17 to his pelvis and upper legs, one to his face, eight to his arms and right hand, and five to his knees, lower right leg and right foot.
The hail of gunfire caused injuries to Walker's heart, lungs and right iliac artery. She said she could not determine if one specific bullet killed him.The Akron chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police said last year it believed that investigators would find that the officers' actions and the number of shots were justified.
