Jayland Walker: unarmed man shot over 40 times. Akron Police Bodycam footage.

Akron Ohio Police release the bodycam videos of several officers involved in what some describe as, "a modern day lynching of a young black man". Mr. Walker was shot over 40 times by 8 officers. Many of the shots were delivered while Mr. Walker lay motionless on the grown.

Walker, who was unarmed a the time of his death, was shot and killed as he fled from a traffic stop on June 27. An autopsy revealed he suffered 46 gunshot wounds or graze injuries, according to the county medical examiner.

DiCello said he spoke with Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown to assist in "facilitating" a conversation with DOJ and said the legal team has reached out to US Attorney General Merrick Garland.
"The mail should be arriving on his desk today. We join the NAACP in its request -- issued by President Derrick Johnson -- to have the DOJ get involved in this." DiCello said.
"The U.S. Attorney's Office, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, and the FBI Field Office in Akron, Ohio are closely monitoring and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death of Jayland Walker," a DOJ spokesperson said in a statement Thursday.
"The FBI continues to coordinate with state and local partners to provide resources and specialized skills. If the evidence reveals potential violations of federal criminal statutes, the Justice Department will take appropriate action.
