Jayland Walker: protests after US grand jury clears eight officers in shooting death

Guardian, 18 Apr 2023
Eight police officers who fired dozens of rounds at Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, following a car and foot chase will not face criminal charges in his death because a US grand jury declined to indict them, Ohio’s attorney general announced on Monday.

Akron's mayor and police chief urged residents to protest peacefully, acknowledging that many are angry because of the shooting last June that Walker’s family has called brutal and senseless. A small group of people held a demonstration outside the church afterwards, chanting Walker's name and anti-police slogans.
