Akron police chief Steve Mylett wrote in an internal review that the shooting of 25-year-old Black man Jayland Walker in June 2022, "while certainly tragic," was "objectively reasonable."
An internal investigation conducted by the Akron Police Department determined that the officers did not violate police protocol.
The officers shot at the 25-year-old Black man nearly 100 times in under seven seconds during a traffic stop that turned into a police chase.
