AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A family is settling a wrongful death lawsuit against Ohio police who fired 94 bullets at a Black man during a chase two years ago.
Jayland Walker's family and the city of Akron reached an agreement but have not disclosed details, according to a joint court filing Tuesday. The family's lawyers said they would hold a news conference "at the appropriate time" to discuss the agreement, and city officials declined to comment while the settlement is pending a judge's approval.
