Ohio authorities on Friday released bodycam video showing a police officer fatally shooting Ta'Kiya Young in her car in what her family denounced as a 'gross misuse of power and authority' against the pregnant Black mother.
Friends comfort each other at a private candlelight vigil Friday, Aug. 25, 2023, in Columbus, Ohio, held for 21-year-old Ta'Kiya Young, who was shot and killed a day earlier by Blendon Township police outside an Ohio supermarket. Young was pregnant and due to give birth in November, according to her family.
"It is undeniable that Ta'Kiya's death was not only avoidable, but also a gross misuse of power and authority," the statement said. While viewing the video, the family felt"a lot of anger, a lot of frustration," Walton told The Associated Press. Officers then break the driver's side window, which Belford said was to get Young out of the car and render medical aid, though footage of medical assistance was not provided.
Responding to criticism of the delay in releasing the video, Belford said it took time for his small staff to process it and properly redact certain footage, such as officers' faces and badge numbers, in accordance with Ohio law.
