The eight Akron officers who shot and killed Jayland Walker last June won’t face criminal charges in his death.
A special grand jury in Summit County Common Pleas Court on Monday returned a no-bill, which means the jurors found the actions of the officers were justified.
The special grand jury was convened beginning last week at the request of Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost for the sole purpose of considering the Walker case.
The jurors heard five days of evidence and testimony and then began their deliberations Monday. Yost called a press conference to announce the decision Monday afternoon.
They said the officers will not be charged at the state level since Jayland shot at them first which justifies them using deadly force. And there were a lot of police who responded to the call. Jayland is the man who was shot at 94 times.
I know there is going to be some protesting in Akron tonight and possibly elsewhere.
