Akron cops deploy tear gas on protesters amid anger over police shooting death of unarmed Jayland Walker, mayor issues curfew

Police in riot gear shot tear gas into marching protesters in Akron, Ohio, Sunday night, hours after the release of body camera video showing the shooting death of unarmed Black man Jayland Walker.

Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan announced a curfew Monday, closing off downtown from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. until further notice.

Mostly peaceful protesters chanting “Justice for Jayland” and “we are done dying” took to the streets Sunday, with some reports of windows being smashed and a fire being set in a dumpster, according to WKYC.
