An Ohio police department on Friday released body camera footage showing an officer fatally shooting a pregnant Black woman in the parking lot of a grocery store two weeks ago after she refused to exit her car and instead bumped him with her vehicle.
Video of the incident in Blendon Township on Aug. 24 followed demands by the family of the 21-year-old woman, Ta'Kiya Young, for the officer who fired the fatal shot to be held accountable.
But Sean Walton, a lawyer for Young's family, said she was a victim. "We demand accountability for two precious lives - Ta'Kiya and her unborn daughter," he said at a news briefing on Thursday. Walton was unavailable for comment on Friday. The incident took place in the parking lot of a grocery store in Blendon, 15 miles northeast of Columbus, the state's capital.
Video made public on Friday shows an officer standing next to Young's vehicle as he repeatedly orders her to get out. A second officer comes around the front of vehicle and points a gun at the windshield, demanding that she exits.
