Internal Investigation Clears Akron Police Officers in Fatal Shooting of Jayland Walker

The internal investigation into the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker by Akron police officers has determined that the officers did not violate agency policy and will not face disciplinary action. The officers' use of deadly force during a car chase and foot chase was found to be in compliance with the police department's policies. A special grand jury had previously declined to indict the officers, concluding that their use of force was legally justified. Walker's family has filed a lawsuit seeking $45 million in damages, alleging excessive force.
