Ohio Cop Indicted For Murder Of Black Pregnant Robbery Suspect

Almost a year ago Ohio police released body cam footage of a pregnant 21 year old Ta’kiya Young, being shot and killed in a Krogers parking lot in a suburb of Columbus. The video shows police approaching 21-year-old Ta’kiya Young asking her to get out of the car because she was being accused of stealing something, when Ms. Young refused. After going back and forth with the police asking her to get out of the car and Ms. Young stating she didn’t steal anything, when she attempted to leave one of the officers shot through her windshield killing her.

Connor Grubb the Ohio police officer that shot Ta’kiya Young, turned himself in and was taken into custody after a grand jury indicted him on several charges stemming from the murder of TaKiya Young last August. The officers claim they attempted to save Young’s life following the shooting, but reported that she was “mortally wounded.” It’s also noted that the newborn daughter Young was carrying died three months after the incident. Grubb was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on charges of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault.
