Family starts fundraiser for woman killed by Ohio police
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?
Connor Grubb, a Blendon Township police officer, allegedly shot Young on August 24, 2023, after confronting her in a grocery store parking lot over allegations of shoplifting.
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”.
CNN reports that a grand jury indicted Grubb on four counts of murder, four counts of felonious assault, and two counts of involuntary manslaughter. The court set his bond at $250,000.
