Akron police release 'heartbreaking' footage of Jayland Walker shooting

Authorities on Sunday released shocking body camera footage of the fatal shooting of Black motorist Jayland Walker in a hail of bullets after Akron police say he fled a traffic stop last week.

Some of the video released showed multiple officers converge on the vehicle and open fire. Police Chief Stephen Mylett said the medical examiner determined about 60 wounds on Walker's body, although the actual number of shots fired had not been determined.

Video from the scene showed a gun on the front seat of Walker's car, and Mylett said video did appear to show the flash of a gun from Walker's car during the chase.

Mylett said the officers immediately attempted to provide care to Walker, but that he died at the scene. Mylett said eight officers were directly involved in the shooting and have been placed on administrative leave. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is conducting the investigation at the request of Akron police.
