Description
Blendon Township police released Kroger surveillance video and new bodycam footage on Friday showing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of 21-year-old Ta'Kiya Young.
Young, who was pregnant, died on Aug. 24 after being shot by an officer in the parking lot of the Kroger, located at 5991 Sunbury Rd. in Blendon Township. Her unborn daughter did not survive.
Newly released surveillance video of the store’s parking lot shows Young heading toward her vehicle, a black Lexus, that was parked in a handicapped spot near the store's front entrance. The officers’ cruiser was parked nearby, where two officers were assisting someone in the parking lot.
A Kroger employee told officers who were at the store on an unrelated matter that multiple people were fleeing the store with stolen items, Police Chief John Belford said. That included Young who had allegedly taken multiple bottles of alcohol. One officer went to the driver’s side of Young's car and told her to stop, Belford said, while the other officer moved in front of the vehicle.
Shots were fired less than one minute after she walked out of the store.
