Me: was there evidence Ta’kiya Young stole anything
AI : According to the police, a Kroger employee reported that Ta'Kiya Young had stolen items from the store. However, there is no clear evidence that she actually stole anything. The police body camera footage shows Young denying that she stole anything, and a witness has come forward to say that they saw her put down bottles of alcohol as she left the store.
The final determination of whether or not Young stole anything will be made by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, which is currently investigating the shooting. However, the lack of clear evidence that Young stole anything raises questions about the justification of the police shooting.
It is important to note that even if Young did steal something, it does not justify her being shot and killed. The police have a duty to use force only when necessary, and it is not clear that Young posed a threat to the officers or anyone else at the time of the shooting.
The shooting of Ta'Kiya Young is a tragedy, and it is important to get to the bottom of what happened. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation needs to conduct a thorough investigation and hold anyone who is responsible accountable.
