Police have released footage of the shooting death of a 25-year-old man killed by Akron police following a car and foot chase early Monday. Police said officers believed he had fired a shot from his vehicle. From WKSU:
Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett watches the video of the final minutes of Jayland Walker's life. He was fatally shot numerous times by eight police officers early Monday morning after an attempted traffic stop and police chase, according to police.
Watch the video of the press conference here. The bodycam video of the shooting begins at 23:52. Viewer discretion is advised. The image of Walker's body is blurred in the video at the request of his family, police said. The bodycam shows a number of officers surrounding Walker's vehicle and yelling at him to get out of the car. Walker gets out of the passenger side of the vehicle and runs a short distance with a number of officers following on foot. Shortly after that, officers fire a barrage of bullets then call for a cease fire, and the video ends.
Multiple news outlets have reported Walker was shot close to 60 times based on the medical examiner's preliminary summary. The Summit County Medical Examiner's report indicates over 60 wounds were found on Walker's body, but investigators are still working to identify entrance and exit wounds, Mylett said.
The eight officers involved in the shooting have been placed on paid administrative leave, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting, Mylett said.
