Jayland Walker

Walker's family sued the city in 2023, initially requesting $45 million. The $4.85 million will be paid in four installments over the next four years, according to a Monday news release.

Jayland Walker, 25, was killed during a traffic stop on June 27, 2022, after he fired a single bullet from his vehicle, then ran from the officers, according to a state investigation.

Activists will call for the U.S. Department of Justice to open an investigation into the Akron Police Department in Washington, D.C. Tuesday - one year after eight officers fatally shot Jayland Walker.

The lawsuit alleges a pattern of constitutional rights violations by the city and police department through excessive violence.
