Akron mayor: Taxpayers to foot $4.85 million settlement to Jayland Walker's family
Taxpayers, not an insurance agency, will pay for the city of Akron's $4.85 million settlement to Jayland Walker's family for Walker's police-involved shooting death, Akron Mayor Shammas Malik. The city is not insured, so the settlement will come in a series of four payments over four years, he said.
