An attorney said the family has lost trust in local and state agencies in Akron, Ohio, to probe the police shooting.
On what would have been Jayland Walker’s 26th birthday had Akron, Ohio, police officers not shot him 46 times, an attorney representing his family requested that the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigate Walker’s death.
“I have spoken with (U.S. Ohio) Senator Sherrod Brown as recently as last night,” Bobby DiCello, the family’s lawyer, said Wednesday. “He is facilitating our dialogue with the Department of Justice. We have reached out to (U.S. Attorney General) Merrick Garland’s office directly. The mail should be arriving on his desk today.”
