Akron police on Sunday revealed a bodycam video showing cops fatally shooting 25-year-old Black Jayland Walker.

After the automobile slowed down a little while later. Walker got out while it was still going. He put on a ski mask and ran off on foot.

Walker was unarmed at the time of the shooting. But a shot that looked to come from the car during the chase led to the cops shooting because they believed Walker was about to fire, according to the authorities.

However, a still image appears to show him going down to his waist area.

Another appears to show him turning towards an officer. The third image captures a forward motion of his arm.

On the seat, police discovered a handgun, a loaded magazine, and a wedding band.
