Former Waukegan Police Officer Dante Salinas has been charged in two incidents including for the 2020 shooting of Marcellis Stinnette,
In the 2020 incident, what Waukegan police said started as a traffic stop investigating a suspicious vehicle quickly escalated to a police chase and then a shooting, which was heard on a police dash camera video."Marcellis Stinnette was a passenger in Ms. Williams' car and committed no crimes, neither Stinnette or Williams had no weapons," said Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart.
Video released by the city of Waukegan shows the officer who fired the shots activated his body camera after the shots were fired. Williams has been charged with aggravated fleeing and eluding for taking off after being stopped by Salinas. Salinas was also charged with aggravated battery for an incident in August of 2019 that left Angel Salgado with a broken eye socket, Rinehart said."Angel was not hurting anyone. He was not breaking the law and Officer Salinas had not received a complaint," Rinehart said.
