The family of a Black man killed when eight Ohio officers fired 94 bullets at him after he shot a round out his window during a police chase will receive a $4.8 million settlement from the city of Akron.

A new federal lawsuit alleges that the eight police officers who shot Jayland Walker last summer used excessive force when they fired 94 bullets at him during a foot chase, and participated in a “culture of violence and racism” within Akron’s police department.

A grand jury has voted not to indict eight Ohio police officers who fired 94 rounds at Jayland Walker after a car and foot chase that ended in the 25-year-old Black man being shot to death last summer.

A grand jury in Ohio will hear evidence this week to decide whether police officers should face criminal charges in the shooting of Jayland Walker.

A preliminary autopsy report shows that Jayland Walker was shot dozens of times and that 26 bullets were recovered from his body.

The NAACP is making a direct plea to Attorney General Merrick Garland for the Justice Department to open a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting death of Jayland Walker, the Black man who was killed last month by officers in Ohio in a hail of police gunfire.

Hundreds of people filled a theater as family and friends shared their memories of Jayland Walker at his funeral.

Authorities say a Black man was unarmed when Akron police chased him on foot and killed him in a hail of gunfire, but officers believed he had shot at them earlier from a vehicle and feared he was preparing to fire again.
