Family of Pregnant Woman Slain By Ohio Cop On Video Demands His Arrest

The family of pregnant Black woman in Columbus, Ohio, is seeking justice for her death. Video footage recently disclosed to the public revealed that she was shot to death in her car by a local police officer.

Ta’Kiya Young was 21-years-old when she was fatally shot by a member of Columbus’ law enforcement, in a moment of what her family deems a “gross misuse of power and authority.” Body camera video of how the unfortunate incident occurred was released over a week after, which the Young family’s attorney believes another indicator that her case is being disregarded.

The lawyer, Sean Walton, told The Associated Press how the family is “heartbroken” over the loss of Ta’Kiya and her unborn child.

“The video did nothing but confirm their fears that Ta’Kiya was murdered unjustifiably … and it was just heartbreaking for them to see Ta’Kiya having her life taken away under such ridiculous circumstances,” said Walton.
