Special Grand Jury Selection Begins Today In Jayland Walker Case

Selection is scheduled to begin in Summit County today for a special grand jury to hear evidence against eight police officers involved in the shooting death of Jayland Walker.

Walker was unarmed when shot to death following a police chase last June that ended in Akron's Firestone Park neighborhood.

Police had said that Walker failed to pull over for a traffic stop and fired a single shot at them during the pursuit.

The Ohio Attorney General's Office will present evidence against the officers being considered for charges.
