COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jurors at the murder trial of an Ohio officer charged in the death of a pregnant Black mother who had been accused of shoplifting were asked Wednesday to focus on answering one question: Was it “reasonable” for him to fatally shoot her?
A prosecutor said in her closing argument that 21-year-old Ta’Kiya Young wasn’t a threat to Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb when he shot her in a supermarket parking lot. Rather, she was trying to get away.
