Trial continues for officer charged with shooting pregnant Black woman accused of shoplifting

The murder trial of an Ohio police officer continues Thursday in the 2023 shooting death of a pregnant Black mother he and another officer confronted about an accusation of shoplifting. Connor Grubb is charged with murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault in the death of Ta'Kiya Young, 21, and the unborn girl due three months later. It wasn't clear whether Grubb would take the stand after the officer's written statement was read into the record on Wednesday in Franklin County Common Pleas Court.
