The family attorney of Jayland Walker put a local police union on blast Wednesday morning for revealing that the 25-year-old was involved in a separate police chase a day before he was shot dead by Akron cops.
The attorney, Bobby DiCello, also said he’d formally sent a request to the U.S. Department of Justice to take over the investigation into the death of Walker, who was shot 46 times by eight Akron police officers on June 27 as he fled a traffic stop.
DiCello claims the police union is colluding with the Ohio Bureau of Investigation, which he says has tainted the agency’s investigation into the involved officers.
