The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has released a summary of its 10-month investigation into the death of Jayland Walker, who was shot and killed by Akron police last year. Investigators and police from Akron and Euclid zeroed in on a theory early on: suicide by cop. Walker, who had no criminal record, searched Google for the “quickest ways to die” and “drinking bleach” in the weeks after his fiancée died in a car crash. He also searched for one-way tickets to far-flung places on other continents. Walker carried a gun with him on the night he died, and investigators believe he fired it during a police chase.
