The family\u2019s attorneys have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/family-of-15-year-old-shot-and-killed-by-akron-police-holds-press-conference-alongside-cochran-firm-attorneys\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">said<\/a> officers <a href=\"https:\/\/fox8.com\/news\/questions-surround-police-shooting-death-of-armed-akron-teen\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">did not start rendering aid for 10 minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cIn hindsight, the amount of time that expired between the shooting and the initiation of physical aid to Jazmir is deeply troubling to me,\u201d Akron\u2019s mayor, Shammas Malik, said in a statement on Thursday, alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/app.sharebase.com\/#\/document\/323165\/share\/470-20cGFhtWLs2GrusyX0qe3XtZvDo\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">release of the footage<\/a>. \u201cI want to be clear that any unreasonable delay in the rendering of aid by police officers is unacceptable and has no place in Akron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Police have said that two patrol officers heard nearby gunshots just after 11pm on 28 November and got out of their parked car to investigate. The officers then encountered Jazmir and ran after him, officials said. One officer fired his assault rifle at the teen, fatally striking him. The boy was later pronounced dead at a hospital and no officers were injured.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"24f5c1ab-25e9-419e-bbff-d1446a0c6ca5\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1fujct4\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Officers display their weapons as they confront 15-year-old Jazmir Tucker in Akron, Ohio. <\/span> Photograph: AP<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The boy was found with a gun in a zipped-up pocket, raising concerns about why lethal force had been used, Malik said: \u201cWhy did the officer decide to use his weapon?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The roughly eight-minute video released by police is difficult to decipher. The sound is off for the first 30 seconds, which is standard when a body camera first turns on. The shooting happens within that timeframe. The footage suggests the officer was chasing Jazmir, raised his rifle and fired at him for about three seconds, potentially shooting about seven times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The shooting officer\u2019s arms and long gun, however, block the camera\u2019s view, and Jazmir is not visible in the moments before and during the shooting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Once the sound on the footage begins, that officer and others are heard yelling at Jazmir, who is on the ground, repeatedly telling the unresponsive teen to raise his hands. Between eight and 10 officers ultimately converge on Jazmir about seven minutes after he is shot. At that point, officers handcuff him and search his pockets. Police have not released details about what any of the officers did to try to save his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The mayor said the footage left him with \u201cserious questions\u201d, including why officers did not activate their cameras upon arrival. He said their cameras eventually started automatically recording due to the presence of a nearby cruiser with activated lights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI also believe that many will ask why the officers used rifles instead of handguns in responding to this incident,\u201d Malik said. \u201cThis will be something that we discuss more going forward, including in the internal investigation, and as part of our comprehensive review of use of force, including when and how different weapons are used.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The family\u2019s attorneys said in a statement that the fact that Jazmir had a weapon was \u201cirrelevant because officers didn\u2019t know he had it until they unzipped his pocket after he was shot\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe police department did a number of things tactically wrong in this case, starting with the aggressiveness that they initiated this pursuit \u2026 These officers came out with the intent to do one thing: shoot and kill,\u201d the attorney Robert Gresham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cochranfirm.com\/family-of-15-year-old-shot-and-killed-by-akron-police-holds-press-conference-alongside-cochran-firm-attorneys\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">said<\/a> in a statement. \u201cWhat I perceive to be the biggest issue here is there\u2019s a culture of violence in this particular police department.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Stanley Jackson, another family attorney, added: \u201cThe mayor and the police department weaponized the police by allowing them to carry assault rifles, right? And then, the police department weaponizes Jaz\u2019s skin and his youth. That\u2019s the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">At a news conference, Jazmir\u2019s relatives said they are devastated by his death. Ashley Greene said her son was a \u201cgreat kid\u201d, <a href=\"https:\/\/fox8.com\/news\/jazmir-tuckers-family-reacts-after-viewing-body-camera-footage\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">adding<\/a> she was \u201cextremely hurt that I couldn\u2019t help my baby\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cIt hurt me to see that no one helped my baby,\u201d Greene said, according to Fox 8 News. \u201cThe police never addressed us. I had to find out that was my son through social media.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Jazmir\u2019s great-aunt, Connie Sutton, described him as a child who was always laughing: \u201cEverybody loved Jaz, and Jaz loved everybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The officer who fired the shots has been on the force for nearly five years. He and his partner were placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy, and their names have not been released.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"a6f611d5-270d-42cb-a387-b47adaa8874e\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:18,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;California sheriff\u2019s deputies kill 17-year-old boy with mental health issues&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;a6f611d5-270d-42cb-a387-b47adaa8874e&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/apr\/03\/california-sheriff-deputies-kill-teenage-boy&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Brian Harding, Akron\u2019s police chief, said in a statement: \u201cOur community, our department, and most importantly, Jazmir\u2019s family deserve and need answers to those questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Ohio bureau of criminal investigation is leading the inquiry, and Akron police are conducting a separate internal investigation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In October, the city of Akron <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/oct\/21\/jayland-walker-shooting-settlement-akron\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">paid the family of Jayland Walker<\/a> a $4.8m settlement, after eight police officers fired 94 bullets at the 25-year-old in a 2022 incident that sparked widespread protests. A grand jury declined to indict the officers last year over the killing, which began with a traffic stop over a broken taillight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Friday, the Ohio supreme court ruled that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleveland.com\/news\/2024\/12\/akron-can-withhold-the-names-of-officers-who-shot-jayland-walker-ohio-supreme-court-decides.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">the city could continue to conceal the names<\/a> of the officers who shot Walker.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/dec\/06\/ohio-police-fatal-shooting-jazmir-tucker\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police in Akron, Ohio, have released body-camera footage of the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old boy, in an incident the city\u2019s mayor called \u201cdeeply troubling\u201d.
