One woman in the crowd was clearly skeptical, saying, “This seems like we’re being put on notice. Y’all basically letting us know, and prepping us they will not be charged.”
About 100 people who live in the city, joined Akron’s Police Chief, the city’s lead prosecutor, and local pastors to talk about the next phase in the deadly Jayland Walker police shooting investigation. A case Chief Mylett immediately turned over to Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The Chief tells 19 News this is the first time in the city’s history that they have not investigated their own case, but he says an outside agency was necessary.
But, out of a flurry of questions from residents, one woman in the crowd was clearly skeptical, saying, “This seems like we’re being put on notice. Y’all basically letting us know, and prepping us they will not be charged.” Currently, the unnamed officers are working at the department. They have been pulled from patrol until the outcome of the investigation is complete.
