In a statement provided to Yahoo News, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost promised the community of Akron an objective, professional and independent investigation.
Every Sunday, Jayland Walker, his sister, Jada, and their mother, Pamela, would gather for family time at Pamela’s Akron, Ohio, home. Pamela would always end the evening by standing in her doorway and she wouldn’t leave until she saw her son’s silver Buick drive away, praying that he returned home safe each time. She could never have imagined that the last Sunday in June would be the last time she saw her son.
About 100 bullets were discharged from at least eight of the 13 responding officers’ guns, according to officials. Walker washe was killed, though Akron Police Chief Stephen Mylett says a gun was recovered from his car after the shooting. DiCello said Akron police do not have dashcams on their cars, which only enhances the skepticism about the details of the incident, including the early moments of the attempted traffic stop.
Akron police declined to comment further on the matter to Yahoo News, saying the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is continuing the investigation. than answers. In one video, a quick pop can be heard and an officer reports gunfire coming from Walker’s car door. No gunfire can be seen in the video, but additional footage, presented at a news conference, appears to show a flash coming from the driver’s side of Walker’s car.
DiCello believes that the officers, if anyone, were the instigators in the situation. He says that in video footage he viewed that has not been publicly released, officers continue to shoot Walker’s lifeless body. “I just want to know, what was the reason?” she said. “Why you had to resort to him being gunned down in such a manner?”
