The Blendon Township Police Department has released officers’ body-worn camera footage depicting the fatal shooting of 21-year-old pregnant woman Ta’Kiya Young in a grocery store parking lot on August 24.
The police department released the video footage in response to calls by the family of Ta’Kiya Young to hold accountable the officers involved in the incident.Vide footage captured one officer standing next to Young as she’s sat inside her locked vehicle with the driver window slightly open. The brief altercation shows the same officer informing Young that she needs to exit the vehicle as she has been accused of theft.During the encounter, Young repeatedly voices objections, and notes that she did not steal anything from the store, a move that then prompts the officer to reiterate his request.
