An attorney for Young’s family called the outcome “an American tragedy.”
Grubb was the fourth Franklin County law enforcement officer to be indicted in the death of a Black person since 2020, and the second prosecuted by a special prosecutor — an increased effort in recent years to avoid potential biases between police officers and prosecutors.
“We thank the grand jury, but we insist that this is but a step, not the conclusion, of our collective journey towards justice for Ta’Kiya and her unborn daughter,” Sean Walton, the attorney for Young’s family, wrote in a statement at the time of the indictment.
