Police body camera footage showing a Blendon Township officer fatally shooting a pregnant Black woman has once again thrust local law enforcement into the national spotlight.

Catch up quick: Ta'Kiya Young, 21, died Aug. 24 after being shot in her car that evening in a Kroger parking lot on Sunbury Road.

• Her unborn daughter, due in November, also died.
• A Kroger employee accused Young of stealing alcohol from the store and flagged down two nearby officers, according to AP.

The latest: Police released the video on Friday, eight days after the shooting, and it spurred local protests throughout the holiday weekend.

• The largest was on Sunday, when over 100 people gathered in Goodale Park and marched through the Short North demanding justice for Young and others killed by police.

What they're saying: "I'll be lying if I said I knew exactly what we needed, but one thing that needs to stop is murder. [It] is not the answer to every interaction," Donovan Lewis' mother Rebecca Duran said on Sunday, according to NBC4.

• Lewis, age 20, was fatally shot in his bed by a Columbus police officer last year.

Zoom in: The body cam footage, which includes graphic and violent content, shows the perspectives of one officer standing at Young's car window and another in front of her vehicle pointing a gun, Axios' Ivana Saric reports.

• They repeatedly tell Young to get out of her car, but she denies the theft accusation and stays inside.
• Young's car moves forward out of a parking spot and makes contact with the officer holding the gun. He yells, "Get out of the f------ car" and fires one shot through the windshield.
• The car then rolls toward and strikes the Kroger. The officers break the window to administer first aid.

State of play: In a statement, Young's family called the shooting "a gross misuse of power and authority." They're calling for the arrest and firing of the officer who fired the fatal shot.

• That officer is on leave. The other is back to work.
• Police Chief John Belford has not released either officer's name, citing the state's Marsy's Law, which protects the privacy of crime victims.
• "This was a tragedy. Ms. Young's family is understandably very upset and grieving," Belford said in a statement.

What we're watching: The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is conducting an independent review, which is customary for police shootings.

• Family members will host a press conference "early this week," per their statement.

Of note: Young's funeral service is Thursday and the family has made a GoFundMe to help with expenses.

Way back in June, we asked you to predict how many times the Columbus area would hit a high temperature of 90° or greater this summer.

The latest: The final tally is in, and it's surprisingly low: seven.

• There were two days in June, four in July and one in August, according to National Weather Service data.

Of note: We used meteorological summer, which is June, July and August, so this week's heat wave doesn't count.

Flashback: Last summer's total was 18 — by comparison, this summer was downright chilly.

The intrigue: Nobody guessed it right. Everybody went over!

• Luckily, this isn't "The Price Is Right."

👏 Congratulations to readers Joe N., Van Y. and Conrad B., who all guessed closest with their predictions of 17 days!

• We'll be in touch about shipping you some brand new Axios swag.

What you're saying:

🐈 Kelsey S.: "I adopted my cat Wilber from Colony Cats in 2016! I was single and in my early 20s then, and he was such a cuddly little buddy.

• "I successfully converted my now-husband into a cat person before we got married, and now our toddler is Wilber's new bestie."

🐩 Steve H.: "Three blind poodles in, my wife and I are dedicated to adopting a dog at a time, but dogs that others don't seem to want."

• "Our current baby, Dandy, is still under a year old, and is quite happy, adventurous, talkative and cuddly. She's napping on my lap as I write."

🐶 Megan O.: "I've been fostering dogs for about eight years through PetPromise and Cause for Canines."

• "I think there are still common misconceptions about rescue animals being 'unpredictable' or 'innately aggressive' ... though many of us who work in this realm know that this couldn't be further from the truth.
• "We adopted our dog during the pandemic after fostering her for a couple months. She is an absolute dream, and that's just innately her temperament/nature."
