Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old Black man killed in a hail of police gunfire in the Ohio city of Akron last month, was shot more than 40 times, according to a preliminary autopsy report released Friday.
Demonstrators march down E. Wilbeth St. after holding a vigil in honor of Jayland Walker on July 8, 2022 in Akron, Ohio. Walker was shot by members of the Akron Police Department on July 3, 2022. Jayland Walker, the 25-year-old Black man killed in a hail of police gunfire in the Ohio city of Akron last month, was shot more than 40 times, according to a preliminary autopsy report released Friday by the Medical Examiners Office in Summit County.
Walker had five wounds in his back, but it's impossible to say whether those came as he ran away or turned as he was being shot, Kohler said. The June 27 pursuit began when officers tried to pull him over for equipment violations. Authorities say Walker fired a gunshot from his car 40 seconds into the chase.
Police body camera footage shows Walker wearing a ski mask, jumping out the front passenger door of his still-moving car and then running into a parking lot where police opened fire. That blurry footage does not clearly show what authorities say was a threatening gesture made by Walker before he was shot.
