[6][7][8] Police said a bullet casing consistent with the recovered Glock handgun (which Walker purchased from a gun store in Akron approximately a week before his death) was found in the area where they say a shot was fired (the southbound entrance ramp to State Route 8 at Tallmadge Avenue).
[13] At approximately 2:30 a.m. on June 26, 2022, a New Franklin police officer attempted to pull over a vehicle owned by Walker, because the car had a broken taillight and a missing license plate bulb.
[7] Following the shooting, Walker was put in handcuffs by police and was found with his hands cuffed behind his back when EMTs arrived on the scene.
Walker's body was hit with 46 bullets in total, and the toxicology report showed that no drugs or alcohol were present in his system.
[23][4] Police recovered a pistol, a loaded magazine, and a wedding ring on the driver's seat of Walker's car.
[17][6][7] At the press conference, police displayed still images that they say showed a muzzle flash coming from Walker's vehicle during the highway chase.
[17][7] Police also displayed still images that they say showed Walker reaching towards his waist area during the foot chase, turning towards an officer, and making "a forward motion of his arm".
[17] The body camera footage released by police ends after the officers opened fire and does not depict what happened afterwards.
[30] On April 19, protesters broke windows at three restaurants in the Highland Square neighborhood, Wally Waffle, Chipotle, and Irie Jamaican Kitchen.
