Lawsuit Filed Over Blendon Township Police Murder of Ta'Kiya Young: 7 Month Pregnant Black Woman Shot Through the Windshield as She Slowly Drove Toward White Cop, Posed No Threat

Two years after Ta'Kiya Young was a black woman who was shot and killed by a Blendon Township police officer, the officer's murder case remains unresolved.

Sunday was the second anniversary of Young's death. Last week, her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Officer Connor Grubb.

Young, 21, was shopping at a Kroger on Sunbury Road when an employee accused her of stealing alcohol and flagged down two nearby officers.

• Body camera footage showed the officers approaching her car and telling her to get out, with Grubb standing in front and pointing a gun.

• Young then accelerated forward toward Grubb, who fired a shot that struck her in the chest. She died after being transported to St. Ann's Hospital.

• Young was pregnant, and her unborn daughter, due that November, did not survive.

Nearly a year later, Grubb was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on counts of murder, involuntary manslaughter and felonious assault.

• He pleaded not guilty, posted a $20,000 bond and was on paid administrative leave until this summer.

Two years after the shooting, Grubb has still not stood trial.

• His first trial date was set for last month, but a judge accepted his defense's request to delay.

• It's now scheduled for Nov. 3 in Franklin County Common Pleas Court after a judge denied a request to move it.

The wrongful death suit alleges Grubb's "reckless and intentional conduct" violated Young's rights and caused her "preventable" death.

• The suit also names the Kroger Corporation and an unidentified Kroger employee as defendants.

• "There was no immediate threat to any officer, no weapon found, and no justification for the use of deadly force," the suit reads. "Ms. Young was executed for a minor and unverified shoplifting allegation, a tragic and inexcusable example of police misconduct and abuse of power."
