Relatives of Breonna Taylor, Jacob Blake arrested while protesting Jayland Walker police killing – By Tori B. Powell (CBS News) / July 7, 2022
Demonstrators scuffled with officers Wednesday night in Akron, Ohio, while demanding justice for Jayland Walker, a Black man shot and killed during a police chase last week. Some protesters were arrested, including the family members of other officer-involved shooting victims.
Breonna Taylor’s aunt, Bianca Austin, was at the Wednesday demonstration. Late that night, she told CBS News correspondent Elise Preston in a FaceTime interview that she had been in the city to protest the police killing of Walker two years after her own niece was killed in Kentucky during a police raid.
During the interview, Austin and an unidentified companion were detained by police for their alleged role in the protest. They could be heard asking what they did wrong. Austin was charged with riot, disorderly conduct and failure to disperse.
