An Ohio police officer is set to appear in court to face charges related to the shooting of Ta’Kiya Young, a pregnant Black mother who was killed after being accused of shoplifting. The officer, Connor Grubb, has been charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter, and felonious assault in connection with the incident.
The tragic event unfolded on August 24, 2023, when Young was suspected of stealing alcohol. Grubb and another officer approached her car, and after an exchange, Grubb fired a single shot through Young's windshield, resulting in her death. The unborn daughter she was carrying also tragically lost her life.
