It is unknown if Walker, the 25-year-old unarmed Akron resident whose attorneys say was shot 60 times by police, was driving the car in the earlier chase.
In this video clip, Jayland Walker is seen leaving out of the passenger door with a ski mask on as Akron police pursue. Police released the body cam video last week.CLEVELAND, Ohio – The 2005 Buick Century driven by Jayland Walker in a police chase that ended in his death last week in Akron was involved in a separate pursuit less than 24 hours earlier, according to New Franklin police.
The pursuing officer captured the Buick’s license plate, and New Franklin police later determined that the gray sedan was registered to Walker. The officer tailed the car and signaled for the driver to pull over. After initially slowing down and drifting toward the shoulder, the car sped up again, causing the police pursuit down a street that otherwise had no traffic.
