NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - JULY 15: People march demanding justice for Jayland Walker on Market Street on July 15, 2022 in Newark, New Jersey. The People’s Organization for Progress (POP) organized a march and rally to demand justice for Jayland Walker, who was killed in Akron, Ohio by police on June 27, 2022. According to a medical examiner's report released today Walker, who was unarmed at the time, suffered 46 gunshot wounds after multiple police officers shot at him an estimated 90 times following a car chase. The family held an open casket funeral for Walker on July 13th, and drew comparisons to a choice by Emmett Till’s mother 67 years ago that helped galvanize the national Civil Rights Movement.
