Family starts fundraiser for woman killed by an Ohio police officer
Ta’Kiya Young was pregnant and had two young sons at the time of her death. She would have turned 22 earlier this month.
Officer Connor Grubb faces murder charges for the shooting death of 21-year-old Ta’Kiya Young in Ohio last August.
Young was pregnant and had two young sons at the time of her death. She would have turned 22 earlier this month.
What happened to Ta’Kiya Young?
Blendon Township Police Officer Connor Grubb is accused of shooting Young on August 24, 2023, after he confronted her in a grocery store parking lot following allegations that she had shoplifted.
Redacted body-camera footage and surveillance video released after the shooting show Grubb and another officer confronting Young in her vehicle. When her car began moving in the direction of Grubb, he fired a single shot into her windshield, which struck Young.
Fundraiser
Young’s family started a GoFundMe to support her boys and to deal with this “unexpected tradegy”.
Grubb has been indicted on four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault and two counts of involuntary manslaughter, CNN reports.
His bond was set at $250,000.
