Friday marks the third day of protests over the Akron police shooting death of 25-year-old Jayland Walker, an Akron DoorDash driver who was killed by multiple shots following a police chase on Monday.
Previous protests were small, a couple dozen people. But as news of Walker’s death spread across the city and national organizations like Black Lives Matter took note, today’s protest downtown is expected to grow.
