"Protests Erupt Over Jayland Walker's Death and Grand Jury Decision"

Akron police used chemical spray to disperse a protest march along Copley Road after declaring it an unlawful assembly. The march was organized by the family of Jayland Walker, who was fatally shot by Akron police in June 2022. The police claimed that the marchers were throwing bottles at them, but it is unclear if any arrests were made. The grand jury had recently ruled that the eight Akron officers involved in Walker's death were justified, sparking new outrage and protests in the community.
