Joyland Walker, a 25-year-old American black man from Akron, Ohio, during a foot chase following an attempted traffic stop and car chase. Officers fired more than 90 bullets at Walker.
Joyland Walker’s sister wants the world to know him as she did: a funny, kind brother who looked out for his family and had big goals for his future of investing and buying a home.
“It’s hard to just talk about somebody who you expect to live your life out with,” Jada Walker told “Good Morning America.”
Jada opened up about her relationship with Joyland in her first interview since the body camera footage of his death was released. She said her brother always made time to reach out and connect with her and their mother. On Sundays — “family day,” as Jada calls it — they would get together.
“If it ain’t a movie, we just listening to new music,” she said. “We both have our own lives, but we always made sure to check in with each other.”
