COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio police officer has made his initial court appearance after being charged in the fatal shooting of Ta’Kiya Young. The pregnant Black mother was killed after being accused of shoplifting last August. A magistrate set the officer’s bond Wednesday at $250,000. Blendon Township police officer Connor Grubb is charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault in the death of Young and the daughter she was expecting three months later. Young was suspected of shoplifting when another officer ordered her out of her car. Instead, she rolled toward Grubb, who fired a single bullet through her windshield into her chest.
