The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Protesters march in Ohio after deadly police shooting of Black man” – below is their description.
Demonstrators marched through Akron, Ohio on Saturday demanding justice for Jayland Walker, a Black man who was shot and killed by police, according to a lawyer for his family.
The protest, which was organised by a group of pastors, began at Akron’s Second Baptist Church and ended up on the steps of the Akron Justice Center.
Police shot Walker dozens of times as he ran from officers, said lawyer Bobby DiCello citing a review of police video footage that was due to be made public on Sunday.
Officials have said the incident began when officers tried to stop Walker for a traffic violation while he was driving early on Monday (June 27) morning.
Walker fled, according to the Akron Police Department, which said officers reported a gun being fired from the suspect vehicle.
