Akron

The city of Akron has issued a curfew after protests sparked by the police shooting of Jayland Walker turned destructive overnight Sunday to Monday.

The sheer number of bullets fired by as many as eight officers has prompted renewed questions from politicians and activists who are criticizing what they view as excessive use of force by police.

Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and killed by Akron police following a car chase early Monday.

Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old Black man, was shot and killed by police earlier this week. The city will release police body camera footage of the incident this weekend.

Mayor Dan Horrigan says this isn't the time for a city-led celebration.

The Summit County Sheriff's Office is currently investigating allegations of sex trafficking at the encampment. Sage Lewis, who ran the camp on property behind his business, decided to close the camp due to increased problems and police presence, he said.

The most congested roadway in 2021 was the I-271 southbound off ramp to State Route 8 in Macedonia, according to the report.

The sheriff's office said they found multiple victims who needed medical treatment after conducting a welfare check at the Kent Place encampment Tuesday.

The change comes after a resident brought up concerns last month about how predominantly Christian opening prayers were. A national organization that advocates for the separation of church and state also reached out to council urging it to stop prayers altogether.
