An Ohio police officer was indicted Tuesday on charges including murder in the 2023 shooting of Ta’Kiya Young.
An Ohio police officer was indicted Tuesday on murder and other charges in the shooting of Ta’Kiya Young, a 21-year-old pregnant Black mother who was killed after being accused of shoplifting last August. Young was suspected of stealing bottles of alcohol when Blendon Township police Officer Connor Grubb and a fellow officer approached her car. The other officer ordered her out.
After viewing body cam footage showing the officer firing the gun, the family called his actions a “gross misuse of power and authority,” especially given that Young had been accused of a relatively minor crime. In the video, an officer at the driver’s side window tells Young she’s been accused of shoplifting and orders her out of the car.
