Body camera video shows the moment an Akron, Ohio police officer shot a 15-year old boy immediately after arriving on the scene.
A police shooting in Akron, Ohio of a 15-year-old boy is drawing some criticism. Body camera footage released by the department shows the officer ordering Tavion Koonce-Williams to put his hands up.
Shortly after the incident, Akron police uncuffed Williams and gave him medical treatment. While on the ground Williams told officers,"I'm a good kid bro, I get A's in school. I play football. I just wanted to be safe, my cousin just died." A local community organization said in a statement that the officer should be fired. Police records show the officer involved in the shooting was previously fired from the department in 2021 for several policy violations — including threatening his girlfriend with a firearm.

Ohio's General Election Ballot May Not Include Candidates Nominated by Democratic National ConventionOhio's general election ballot may not include candidates nominated by the Democratic National Convention due to a scheduling conflict. The Ohio secretary of state must certify candidates 90 days before the general election, but the DNC is set to start after this deadline. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has brought this issue to the attention of the Ohio Democratic Party, suggesting that either the DNC moves up its convention or the Ohio General Assembly creates an exception to the requirement. The situation is being monitored, and it is expected that Joe Biden will still be on the ballot in Ohio.
