Ohio Grand Jury Clears Officers in Jayland Walker Shooting

A special grand jury in Summit County Common Pleas Court has decided not to charge eight Akron police officers who shot and killed Jayland Walker last June. The police killing of Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, sparked weeks of protests in Akron last summer. The officers, whose names have been withheld by the city, will now face an internal investigation to determine whether they violated any internal policies and procedures. Walker's family will file a civil lawsuit against the city and officers closer to the one-year anniversary of his client's death.
