Jayland Walker shot 46 times, death ruled a homicide: Medical examiner

Jayland Walker, a 25-year-old delivery driver who was killed by police while fleeing a traffic stop last month in Akron, Ohio, suffered 46 gunshot wounds throughout his body, a medical examiner’s office determined.

Walker died of blood loss from his injuries, and his manner of death was ruled a homicide, Summit County Medical Examiner Lisa Kohler revealed Friday.

“The autopsy examination determined that Mr. Walker had 46 gunshot wound entrance or graze injuries. A graze injury results when the bullet runs along the surface of the skin but does not enter a specific area of the body,” Kohler wrote in an autopsy report obtained by the Washington Examiner.
