The Akron Police Department is expected to provide details of the shooting, including body camera footage, at the Sunday news conference alongside the city’s mayor. The footage will also be released at that time.
The Akron Police Department said Walker refused to stop the vehicle and fled as officers attempted to pull him over early Monday morning. Walker then jumped out of his rolling vehicle and created a “deadly threat,” leading officers to use stun guns and then firearms, police said.
Police say Walker fired a shot at officers during the police chase.
Walker died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office, which ruled the death a homicide.
Walker was found lying on his back while in handcuffs when a medical examiner arrived at the scene, according to an investigative worksheet for the case shown to the Beacon Journal at the medical examiner’s office. Walked had been shot in the face, abdomen and upper legs, the report said, adding that a weapon was recovered from his vehicle.

White supremacy strikes again. Blm no accountability bigotry of low expectations.
They better not give this family a dime. Tired of seeing cities payout family’s for the death of criminals that was justified.
Only in a Fantasy World do Masked Men get to Shoot at cops, then pretend like they are pulling a gun, and not get shot.
Hello world
R,I.P. J Walker. I am ex military. You were shot by veterans of the US Military hired as Police who suffered from PTSD and shock of being in war. You were killed as if you were an enemy of Desert Storm or Desert Shield or Operation Orga destroy and kill or like an enemy of war. We wanna retrain officers but we must vet officers who have been in war hired as Police officers who suffer from PTSD or war crimes in Syria Iran Afghanistan and Iraq. Salute to all of you who serve as my Brothers in Arms in the United States Military. But to you who have done wrong and is wrong. As you played God and the Judge The Jury and the Law and became a death squad may God have mercy on your Soul
Mental Illness is Real. Vet new hires on the Police Force before coming into the Force and into the Police Academy. Cus alot of you are hiring those who have committed war Crimes by being firing squads Executioner and Judge in Kuwait Iran Afghanistan and Iraq as well as Lybia Yemen Styria Vietnam and Iraq. RIP Jalen Walker. Son of God to a Son of God I salute you. You are the Reason for change and after this America can't help but change
Oh America you can't keep killing the Sons of God. The More you kill us off the more you Fall. Protect us and We protect you. Raise us up and we will Lift you up Against the BRICS Brazil Russia India Iran Iraq and china. Mr. President, time you and I must Talk
* /*KRST:-
Those are very effective exterminators congratulations. Nice hunting
This is what happens when you run from cops with a ski mask on ! He got what he deserved ! Oh well !
All of you wonderful peaceful citizens and children of the most high should be flooding the Police Departments with applications and show us how it's supposed to be done. Please, be the cop that would show up to the scene where a crime has been committed while the perp is shooting at you and SHOW US how it's supposed to be done.
This is some bullshit narrative
Change will come when these irresponsible parents stop teaching their children to fear the police and not comply with a simple demand such as: "Hands in the air!" "Show me your hands" "Stop running!" "Don't reach for any weapons!" 👐 🤲 Don't let me start with these lawyers that just create their own narrative to show that the deceased is innocent but don't talk about the fact..
All y’all racist fucks in the comments smd a mf can walk in a store and kill 10 blacks and he get arrested like nothing a mf shoot up a gathering and he gets walked out stop with the bullshit if parents teach kids nah say what y’all mean
Y’all in hear talking bout if the parents teach they kids nah if these police with badges that y’all defend so much handle the law properly this could’ve been avoided too that many shots doesn’t justify nothing parents watch kids and family get gunned down and y’all talking crazy in here mf shot up a school and y’all didn’t jump on why the police all bitches
Why is the volume so low what’s wrong with your news reporters?!
Pigs are so trygger happy , glad to see some of these fools drop n retire early 🤣
Bet there's no bullet hole in the car ..and if so..really how do that justify the shooting and killing him whn he was not armed..smh
I swear you bitches need the same judgment you hand that young guy… how can you continue to shoot when its obvious that he is down and twitching from the bullet entering his body.. and how can you say its speculation when the reported ask u about your officers misconduct but yet you guys constantly making speculations for the guy you guys murdered.. he was not a threat when running or on the ground getting shot continually
Idc about righteousness or their justifications or any of that. All I know is when you shoot a man almost 100 times you’re no longer acting in the public good, you’re just executing someone out of anger. The man was shot more than any human being I’ve ever seen in my life. By a long shot. Not even close in fact. There’s no way in hell anyone can consider that many shots at single person who’s clearly dying/dead just doing your job. So spare me the righteousness of these cops actions. Idgaf.
These white boys out here killing babies kids women and the elderly. Didn't catch one bullet but a black man that didn't kill anybody gets 80,000 bullets . THAT BULLSHIT 😡😡😡
Still making excuses for these devil cops.
One Writer was able to print everyone speech.
Payton Grendron gets to walk away and face the judge after killing innocent Americans who was grocery shopping.
How you come up with facts without investigating the whole situation.
Most police officers have no knowledge about their Community and crimes because they live in white supremacy neighborhoods
As usual, if this perp would have complied with the officer's requests he would still be breathing. It sounds like the Akron Mayor and the guy who followed him at the podium have already made up their minds about Mr. Walker's death. Sounds like if the white cops are not hung up to dry and the city doesn't pay millions then the city will burn and the street punks will have a night of burning, stealing, and general mayhem.
De politie valt eindelijk door de mand.
Al jaren zie ik excessief buitensporig vuurwapengebruik.
Dit moet echt stoppen
The soldiers didn't shoot the Japanese that many times in the pacific war..
It makes me happy that the police were able to rid the world of this violent critter before he was able to injure or kill a worthwhile citizen
The real mobsters with badges
8 officers and only one cam angle ?
