事發經過

[編輯]

2022年6月27日早上,傑蘭德·沃克因涉嫌交通違法而被警察攔住。據阿克隆警察局表示,沃克拒絕配合並開車離開現場。警方表示,在警方追捕傑蘭德·沃克期間,傑蘭德·沃克從車內開槍朝警方射擊,但傑蘭德·沃克家屬聘請的律師Bobby DiCello並不相信警方的說法。 [4][5]

後來戴着巴拉克拉法帽的傑蘭德·沃克下車逃走,隨後警察下車追趕並朝其連開90多槍。 [6]警方認定是傑蘭德·沃克的舉動令警方感到威脅,所以警察才會開槍。 [7]最終沃克被警察戴上手銬,而此時沃克已死亡。 [8]

沃克家屬聘請的律師表示,根據警用密錄器顯示,警察在開槍時沃克手無寸鐵。 [9]法醫在解剖其屍體時發現沃克身上有60多處槍傷。 [9][10][11]

2022年7月3日,警方向外界公開了警用密錄器錄下的影片。根據已公開的影片,警察的確朝傑蘭德·沃克開了數十槍。阿克隆警察局局長斯蒂芬·邁利特表示這段影片「令人震驚」。 [12]

反應

[編輯]

阿克隆官員表示,由於此次槍擊事件,原定於美國獨立日的慶祝活動將被取消。 [13]

槍擊事件發生當天,抗議者聚集在位於阿克隆市中心的警察局外表示不滿。美國全國有色人種協進會計劃於7月2日前往阿克隆聲援示威。[14]

Mr. DiCello also raised questions about the police report’s narrative that Mr. Walker had fired a gun while driving away from officers. 'The rear windshield is intact, the front windshield is intact and all side windows are intact,' he said. 'There’s no call, there’s no report that we’ve seen and there’s been no mention by the chief in personal discussions with him that a gun was seen outside the car, waving at or being pointed at anyone.'
