Jurors to hear closing arguments in trial of Ohio officer charged in the killing of Ta’Kiya Young
Officer Connor Grubb faces murder and manslaughter charges after a two-week trial including bodycam footage in the fatal shooting of Ta’Kiya Young in a Kroger parking lot.
- On Wednesday, closing arguments are set after the prosecution and defense rested Tuesday following a roughly two-week trial of Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb, charged in Ta’Kiya Young’s death on Aug. 24, 2023.
- After a reported shoplifting at Kroger, officers approached Young’s car in suburban Columbus about suspected stolen alcohol, and defense attorneys say the vehicle became deadly when it accelerated near Grubb.
- Courtroom witnesses, including a use-of-force expert and accident reconstructionist, testified about bodycam footage showing Young’s car moving forward as Grubb fired a single shot through the windshield.
- Franklin County Common Pleas Judge David Young dropped four of 10 counts tied to the unborn daughter after prosecutors failed to prove Grubb knew of the pregnancy, and Grubb faces up to life in prison.
- Family attorneys said they expected Grubb to testify but he did not, and his account was presented in a written statement read by a special agent for the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, while Sean Walton and relatives expressed hopes for healing.
