FOG BLOG U.S. NEWS LOG: FUNERAL FOR JAYLAND WALKER , SHOT 60 TIMES BY OHIO POLICE!

An Ohio city struggles to make sense of another fatal police shooting of a Black man It was just after 1 a.m. on May 28 when the future that Jayland Walker was planning shattered in an instant.

His fiancée, Jaymeisha Beasley, was traveling with family outside Cincinnati when they were hit by a tractor-trailer. Beasley wasn't wearing a seatbelt, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, and was thrown from the van onto the interstate. Within moments, she was struck by a passing vehicle, leaving her with fatal injuries. A hit and run. She was 27.

For those who knew Walker, the next 30 days are hard to make sense of. The person they remember loved sports — wrestling most of all — and was quiet and kind. He was a fiancé, son, brother and friend who knew how to make people laugh. And he was never one for trouble, they say. Which is what makes the final moments of his life all the more painful and confounding. As friends and family gathered Wednesday for Walker's funeral, many are struggling to understand what may have caused him to flee police on June 27 during what should have been a routine traffic stop. They don't understand why a 25-year-old with no criminal record was shot dozens of times by officers in Akron, Ohio, leaving him with more than 60 gunshot wounds. And they don't understand why after years of nationwide protests over racial injustice, young Black men like Walker continue to be killed by police at a rate that is more than twice as high as that of white Americans.

Police in Akron say they sought to stop Walker for a "traffic and equipment violation." Video of the ensuing chase shows what police say is a muzzle flash coming from Walker's driver-side door. Walker was unarmed when he was shot, according to authorities, but police say a handgun was later found in the car.

"It's just not matching the person that I know, because he's not into that and that's not him," his sister, Jada Walker, told ABC. "That's not Jayland."
