AKRON, Ohio (WKYC) — Autopsy records confirm that an unarmed Akron man was struck dozens of times by a barrage of more than 90 shots fired by police officers following a chase early Monday morning.

The volume of gunfire & extensive wounds have caused police & city officials to prepare for potential public backlash. The response is expected to only intensify when Akron Police release body camera footage in the coming days.

“Use of force cases are always ugly. This case is ugly times 10,” a police official said.

Jayland Walker’s death has been ruled a homicide.

Akron police say they attempted to stop Walker’s car just after midnight Monday for a traffic infraction & equipment issue. Walker instead led the officers on a high-speed chase.

At some point, police say Walker fired a gun. One casing was found in Walker’s car & a second was found on the roadway.

The 4 1/2-minute chase with speeds reaching about 80 mph. Walker, 25, eventually jumped out of the car.
