The grand jury concluded the officers were legally justified in their use of force, according to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.Walker was unarmed at the time he was killed, according to police, though officers said he fired a gun from his vehicle during the car chase. A gun was found in his vehicle after the shooting, police said.
His death prompted an investigation by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, along with protests over racial injustice and police use of force -- a few of which erupted into violence, resulting in damage to local businesses, Akron police said.A week after the shooting, police released a narrated video timeline of the shooting featuring parts of body camera videos from 13 officers at the scene.
Police also shared still images taken from traffic cameras that showed "a flash of light" -- purportedly a muzzle flash -- along the driver's side of the car.
