Eight Akron police officers on leave after being involved in the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker will return to duty but in administrative roles, the city’s police chief said.
“We recognize that this decision will cause concern for the Walker family and the community, and we are sensitive to those concerns,” Mylett said in a statement.
Mylett said staffing shortages at the department have resulted in fewer officers able to respond to calls. “The decision to reinstate these officers — even to desk duty — fails to take into account a pending investigation into their actions that culminated in Jayland’s brutal shooting and unjustifiable death resulting from a barrage of more than 90 bullets,” attorneys Ken Abbarno and Bobby DiCello said in a statement.
Police tried to pull over Walker’s vehicle for a traffic violation around 12:30 a.m. June 27, and there was a car chase, police have said.
