Description
A grand jury has decided to indict the officer who fatally shot Ta'Kiya Young last year at a Kroger grocery store in Blendon Township.
Blendon Twp. Police Department officer Connor Grubb was indicted on four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault and two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Young was shot on Aug. 24, 2023, inside a vehicle in the Kroger parking lot on Sunbury Road.
Before the shooting, a Kroger employee flagged down two officers in the parking lot, who were there on an unrelated matter, about multiple people fleeing from the store with stolen items. One of those people was Young, according to Blendon Township Police Chief John Belford.
Young was in a vehicle when the officers told her to get out, but refused. One of the officers was standing in front of the vehicle when Young put the car in gear and accelerated toward him. The officer fired his weapon through the windshield, striking Young.
The report says Young was 25 to 28 weeks pregnant when the shooting happened. Her unborn child did not survive.
