The Ohio police officers who were involved in the fatal shooting incident of Jayland Walker on June 27 have “bounties” placed on their heads, according to officials.

During a joint news conference last week, Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan noted the primary reason officers’ names are not being released stems from a long-standing policy not to identify those involved in fatal shootings.
