Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man who was unarmed when he was killed by Akron police in June, was shot more than 40 times by cops. He had 41 entry wounds and another five graze wounds with 'several very devastating injuries that would cause death.'
At the news conference Friday, Kohler released the preliminary autopsy findings, revealing the 46 entry and graze woulds. Kohler also observed 15 exit wounds where bullets left the body. He had five gunshot wounds in his back, but it’s unclear if he suffered those while running from cops, she said.
“We are not able to say which bullet killed him,” Kohler said. “He had several devastating injuries.”
