☆ 8 Officers Involved in Jayland Walker's Shooting Death Are Back on Active Duty, Officials Say

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The eight Ohio police officers who fired scores of shots that killed Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, after a car and foot chase last year are back on active duty, officials said. Michael Miller, in a statement, cited a state investigation and an Ohio grand jury's decision against indicting any officers in the June 2022 shooting death of Walker. Some of the officers first used Tasers to try and stop Walker, but he reached toward his waistband and raised a hand as officers were chasing, Yost said. The officers, whose identities haven’t been released, were put on leave following the shooting and then reinstated to desk duty in October 2022. Attorneys for the eight officers released a statement earlier calling the shooting a tragedy for the entire community, including Walker’s family and all of the officers who were involved.

☆ Family sues Akron and 8 officers who shot Jayland Walker

A spokeswoman for the city told the Akron Beacon Journal that there would be no comment on the litigation from the city. The officers pursued Walker on foot after an attempted traffic stop in June 2022 and shot him dozens of times, including five times in the back, police officials said. "Only then did the officers fire believing Mr. Walker was firing again at them," said Yost, whose office was asked by local prosecutors to investigate the shooting. State law allows officers to use deadly force against a deadly threat to themselves or others, he added. A media lawsuit seeking the names of the officers is pending before the Ohio Supreme Court.

[1/5] Demonstrators attend a protest held after a grand jury voted against indicting police officers in the fatal shooting of an unarmed Black man Jayland Walker, in Akron, Ohio, U.S. April 19, 2023. The mayor's office wrote on social media that police broke up the protest after it had been declared an "unlawful assembly." The protesters were venting anger over a grand jury's decision on Monday not to indict eight Akron police officers who shot Jayland Walker 46 times last June. Investigators have said that as he was driving, Walker fired at least one shot from a gun at police. The Walker family's legal team derided the grand jury's decision and said they would file a civil lawsuit against the city in June.

Eight Akron police officers on leave after being involved in the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker will return to duty but in administrative roles, the city’s police chief said Tuesday. The officers were placed on paid administrative leave following the fatal shooting of Walker, 25, who was shot 46 times in a hail of police gunfire during a foot chase June 27. The death of Walker, who was Black, sparked protests in Akron, demands for a transparency and accountability, and a federal investigation. After Walker got out of the car and ran on foot, officers chased him and opened fire. Police said when body camera footage of the shooting was released that Walker turned towards officers before he was shot.
