The Ohio Attorney General's office released redacted video interviews that were conducted with the eight Akron police officers in the deadly shooting of Jayland Walker amid an overnight chase.
The interviews were conducted by agents of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation between July 6-12, 2022, just days after Walker's death on June 27.
On Monday, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced that a grand jury decided that no state criminal charges will be filed against the eight officers. Jurors issued a "no bill" decision, with Yost stating they felt the officers' use of deadly force against Walker was justified by state law. "There is no doubt that Jayland Walker did indeed shoot at police officers," Yost added.
According to Yost, evidence collected by the BCI included more than 100 interviews, including with each of the eight officers who fired their weapons during the incident. It also includes evidence collected through multiple search warrants, subpoenas, body cam footage, dash-camera video, surveillance video, police reports and an autopsy of Walker's body.
In the video interviews, the faces of the officers are redacted and their names are muted.
