Estate of pregnant mother shot to death by police in Ohio parking lot sues township and police chief
The lawsuit claims improper police training and supervision led to the fatal shooting of Ta'Kiya Young, violating her constitutional rights, the estate alleges.
- Officer Connor M. Grubb shot and killed Ta'Kiya Young, a pregnant Black mother, in August 2023 in a grocery store parking lot in the Columbus suburbs.
- The shooting occurred after Young was suspected of shoplifting and her vehicle moved toward Officer Grubb, who then shot her through the windshield, fatally wounding her in the chest.
- Young and her unborn daughter died at a hospital, and Grubb was charged last year with murder, assault, and involuntary manslaughter but pleaded not guilty.
- Young's estate and family filed wrongful death and federal lawsuits alleging excessive force, constitutional violations, and failure to train officers, while Grubb's lawyer claimed the shooting was justified.
- A hearing involving Grubb is set for next week, while a federal legal action has been filed targeting the police chief and local government of Blendon Township, alleging inadequate oversight and urging reforms in departmental policies.
