Open Records Summary :
Under disputed circumstances, Off-duty Cumberland County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeffrey Hash fatally shot Jason Walker four times and called 911, stating that he fired a gun after the man ran into the road and jumped onto the hood of his pickup truck. Jason Walker was shot 4 times. He had been unarmed.
A group called Fayetteville Activist Movement claimed that Walker was shot and killed after being struck by Officer Hash’s vehicle. They also claimed that the Fayetteville Police Department only shared Hash’s “side of the story” and that eyewitnesses at the scene “revealed the truth.”
Elizabeth Ricks, a nurse who said she provided aid to Walker after the shooting, told protesters on Sunday at a rally organized that Walker was “not acting crazy” before he was shot—and did not “jump on traffic.” A video of Ricks speaking also showed her claiming Hash showed “no remorse” after the shooting.
