The shooting of Jayland Walker last week is the latest high-profile police shooting of a Black person under scrutiny.
On Sunday, the Akron Police Department released 13 police body camera videos, which show Walker's encounter with police officers following a traffic stop, including the moment he was fatally shot by eight police officers firing dozens of bullets at him, resulting in over 60 wounds, officials said.
Walker's family wants him to be remembered as a fun-loving young man who was full of life, said Robert Dejournett, a relative and the pastor of St. Ashworth Temple Church of God In Christ. He said the family hopes the shooting will lead to change.
