Jayland Walker was struck by more than 40 police bullets last month, an Ohio medical examiner says
Dr. Lisa Kohler, the Summit County medical examiner, says it was impossible for her office to say which bullet killed Walker or the number of shots that were fired.
The medical examiner gave a summary of the report into Walker's death at a news conference. The report was finalized Thursday. The medical examiner's findings confirm the fact that Walker, unarmed and with no drugs or alcohol in his system, “came to a brutal, senseless death,” said Ken Abbarno, a lawyer representing Walker's family.A message seeking comment on the autopsy findings was sent Friday to a spokesperson for the police department.
Police body camera footage shows Walker wearing a ski mask, jumping out the front passenger door of his still-moving car and then running into a parking lot where police opened fire. That blurry footage does not clearly show what authorities say was a threatening gesture made by Walker before he was shot.
