An Akron police officer shot and killed a 15-year-old boy who was carrying a gun with an extended magazine, according to body-camera video released late Thursday.
CLEVELAND, Ohio –
the youth, Jazmir Tucker, was doing in the moments before the shooting or what led up to it. The sound is muted for parts of the footage, as well. “He is reaching for something with his right hand,” an officer screamed, as the youth was on the ground. Officers yelled a number of times for Tucker to put his hands up or to his side.
“I want to be clear that any unreasonable delay in the rendering of aid by police officers is unacceptable and has no place in Akron,” Malik said.
