Across the country, there is outrage over the killing of a black man by police, while authorities have appealed to the public to remain calm.

A group of protesters marched on City Hall. They held banners with the words “Justice for the Island”. According to police, 25-year-old Jayland Walker was killed when police officers tried to stop his car for a traffic violation.

Sunday was the fourth day of protests. The protests were peaceful but tense as some protesters approached police and chanted slogans.

Crowds continued to protest in the streets after the first rally. Fearing possible unrest, city officials, with a population of 190,000, have set up heavy barricades near the police department.

After initially providing some details of the shooting, Akron officials released two videos on Sunday. One was a body camera video that included sound, and the other contained all the details of the chase and shooting.

The audio from the first video shows Jayland Walker not stopping and leaving. Police chase the car and it is said that Walker’s car was shot.

After chasing for several minutes, Walker gets out of his car and starts running. Police try to stop them but they run away.

Police eventually chased him to a parking lot. Bodycam footage is very blurry and it is not clear what happened.

But an initial police statement issued after the shooting said Jayland Walker’s behavior was such that it convinced police that he (Walker) was a deadly threat.

All police officers at the scene shot Walker. He was pronounced dead at the scene. This is the latest case of an African-American citizen being killed by police. Such incidents have sparked large-scale protests against racism and police brutality.

Police Chief Steve Milet said he did not know the exact number of bullets fired at Jayland Walker, but the medical examiner’s report indicated more than 60 wounds on Walker’s body.

He added that eight officers involved in Walker’s death had been sent on leave pending an investigation.
