Chicago police officers won’t be charged in shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo
The Guardian says No charges will be filed against the Chicago police officers who chased and fatally shot 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez within days of each other last year, prompting sharp criticism of how the department handles foot pursuits, a prosecutor announced on Tuesday.
The Cook county state’s attorney, Kim Foxx, said there was insufficient evidence to charge the officers in the deaths, which were captured on video that showed both suspects appeared to have handguns before the shootings.
The public release of the videos in April 2021 renewed calls for reform of the Chicago police department, which for decades has had a reputation for brutality, misconduct and racism.
