Chief Stephen Mylett answered tough questions about the gun, the handcuffs and whether the officers who shot and killed Walker June 27th have made any formal statements yet.
Akron's police chief did a one-on-one interview with News 5 Investigator Tara Morgan revealing death threats against his officers and hinting at a potential change in protocol."My understanding is that BCI has started to take statements from the officers,” Chief Mylett said.
Chief Mylett re-iterated that they are playing no role in the investigation led by the BCI. However, we questioned the chief about why the chase started in the first place. Chief Mylett says the department has a history of canceling pursuits but the gunshot heard by officers is what changed this one. Chief Mylett says BCI will determine whether a shell casing found where ODOT cameras captured a muzzle shot came from the gun in Walker’s car.
