On first anniversary of fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, mother calling for special prosecutor
was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer during a foot chase in Little Village, his mother and others will call on the Chicago Police Department to immediately enact changes to its foot pursuit policy.declined to charge Officer Eric Stillman in Toledo's deathLast week, Foxx announced neither her office nor an appellate prosecutor's office could find enough evidence to support criminal charges in either the shooting of Adam Toledo or 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez just days later.
Video footage released weeks after the shooting shows Toledo and 21-year-old Ruben Roman standing on a street corner when several shots were fired early on the morning of March 29. Both then ran past a church and into a nearby alley. Body camera footage shows an officer chasing Toledo down the alley, telling the boy to show the officer his hands.
Foxx cited that surveillance video footage when describing the decision not to charge Stillman with a crime. "We have to ask ourselves, was this worth the effort?" she said."I think the deaths that we have seen, and the risks to our officers absolutely necessitates that we have a foot pursuit policy that keeps everyone safe."
