Americans Protest the Death of Afro-American Killed by Police
No details of the incident have been released, but according to local media, eight uniformed officers fired 90 bullets at Walker and hit him 60 times.
Protests are taking place in the U.S. city of Akron in Ohio (Northern U.S.) over the killing of an African-American man by police officers.
Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old man of African descent, who was fleeing from police officers after committing a traffic violation, was shot and killed on Monday in Akron.
Demonstrations over Walker's murder have been taking place in front of City Hall and the city's police station since Wednesday.
Akron Police stated that the young man was carrying a gun and fired at police officers as they pursued him. "The suspect's actions caused the officers to perceive a lethal threat against them" and "they shot him, whereupon he lost his life."
