Man killed by Chicago cops died of gunshot to back

Chicago’s police superintendent says video evidence from the fatal officer-involved shooting of an 18-year-old vehicle theft suspect theft last week suggests three cops involved in the incident may have violated departmental policy.

That’s when police say they started firing at the auto.

Police said 2,394 people were shot in the city so far in 2016, including 441 in July.

Police shot and killed a black Chicago teen Thursday who appears to have been unarmed and was in a vehicle reported stolen earlier in the day from Bolingbrook.

‘As it appears, right now, departmental policy may have been violated during the incident, ‘ he said, declining to elaborate.

Autopsy results released Saturday showed O’Neal was shot in the back.

CHICAGO (AP) – Two Chicago officers involved in a shooting that left a suspect dead were relieved of their police powers even as the case is still being investigated, police say.

“I think that he gets it”, Brown told the Chicago Tribune.

Three police officers shot and killed an 18-year-old man on Thursday after he sideswiped a squad auto and another vehicle with a stolen Jaguar he was driving when police tried to arrest him, the Chicago Police Department said in a statement. ‘Officers out there in the past have been very indifferent or disrespectful.

Authorities have said officers stopped a Jaguar convertible that had been reported stolen. Police said they “attempted to curb” the auto near 74th Street and Merrill Avenue when the Jaguar sideswiped the police vehicle and another nearby parked auto.

O’Neal was black; police have not provided information on the officers’ races.

The homicide count kept by the Sun-Times and the police department does not include fatal shootings by police.

He added that he understood officers must make split-second decisions, while others can later view video and other evidence to decide whether officers acting appropriately or not. O’Neal, who was in the vehicle, was taken to an area hospital where he died, police said.

‘If it’s an honest mistake we will get them training, coaching and mentoring, ‘ he said. “But if it was intentional misconduct then they have to be held accountable for it”.

The city also has a new policy that calls for the release of videos of shootings within 60 days unless a law enforcement agency seeks an additional 30-day extension.

Chicago police in particular have come under criticism for the October 2014 slaying of Laquan McDonald, 17, who was shot 16 times by an officer, as well as clandestine site that, according to a Guardian investigation, tortures and disappears those detained for interrogation without access to lawyers or public notice.
