A 21-year-old pregnant woman was shot dead by police officers in an Ohio suburb last week, after she allegedly stole alcohol from the supermarket.
He said two officers were in the parking lot that night helping someone who was having car problems, when a store employee approached them and said Young had stolen multiple bottles of liquor from the store. Police said Young had stolen several bottles of alcohol from a Kroger, and refused officers’ demands to get out of her car.But Belford said those demands were ignored, and Young instead accelerated the car directly at the officer who was standing in front of it.Police then ran after the car for nearly 50 feet, Belford said, before it jumped a curb and crashed into a brick wall and columns outside the grocery store.
The incident is now under investigation by the Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation, and the two officers involved are on paid leave. “It was nauseating to learn that a police officer would kill a pregnant woman and her unborn child,” NAACP-Columbus President Nana Watson told FOX 28. “She stole something from the store,” Nadine Young, Ta’Kiya’s grandmother who raised her,. “You didn’t have to shoot the woman; she would have eventually gotten out of the car. You didn’t have to kill her and the baby.”
