Ohio police officials released officer body-camera footage of a 25-year-old Black man killed in a hail of bullets fired by eight officers while he was unarmed and running away.

Akron police officials said the fatal incident unfolded about 12:30 a.m. on June 27 in Akron's North Hill neighborhood when officers attempted to pull over Walker for a traffic violation and an equipment violation with his car. Police said the driver allegedly refused to stop, setting off a chase that ended in his death.

A second body-camera video recorded officers radioing that they heard at least one shot being fired from Walker's car. The video also shows the officer following the Buick off Route 8 and continuing the pursuit on side streets. Mylett said he has watched the video at least 40 times and said there are still photos showing Walker appear to reach for his waistband, turn toward officer and move an arm forward.

Despite the shooting occurring a week ago, Mylett said none of the officers have been interviewed by investigators. The chief said the police union president has assured him that all of the officers involved in the shooting will fully cooperate. Mylett said while the video confirmed that Walker was unarmed when he was shot, he said the footage also captured a handgun with a separate loaded magazine and what appears to be a gold wedding band left on the driver's seat of Walker's car.

Funny how ABC World News just deleted their post on this story. But i couldn't find anything that ABC aired about this fine gentlemen.

I Get Sick Tied Heard About The Police Shoots Of Blacks Over Over Again Since Michael Brown's Case It's Got To Stop With The Shooting Of Blacks.

Here they go again shooting multiple shots at A Black Man. Were the Cops White? And why that Many Cops shooting at him? It is appalling why these Types of shootings happen. Wounding him would Have been a better way INSTEAD of killing him. And worse thing he was unarmed.

Fake news

He ran , then shot at the police

He fired his handgun at the police but left it in his car when he decided to run wearing a ski mask . Hardly unarmed

Are there any previous police mug shots of him or is this the one and only picture of him.

How can you be unarmed when you have a Glock?

What about the part when he shot at the police? Must’ve forgotten about that…

See Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985).

Why only descriptions on certain stories?

He shot at them. There were casings in the back seat of his car. He was wearing a ski mask. Cops took action. End of story.

He’s Black? (Sarcasm)

Summit County Black officials, advocacy groups push for justice for Jayland Walker, killed by Akron police officersSummit officials, U.S. Rep. Shontel M. Brown and Ohio Families Unite Against Police Brutality released statements Friday in support of Jayland Walker, 25, who was shot by eight unidentified Akron police officers early Monday.
