COPA RELEASES VIDEO & OTHER MATERIALS FROM FATAL OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING NEAR 1100 WEST 111th STREET
Today, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) released, to its website, video, and other materials of a fatal officer-involved shooting near 1100 W. 111th Street. COPA investigators immediately responded to the scene and began the investigation.
On August 11, 2023, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) notified COPA of a fatal officer-involved shooting. Preliminary information indicates that this incident occurred when two on-duty Chicago police officers in a marked police vehicle observed a confrontation between two individuals. The officers reportedly observed one individual with a firearm in their back pocket. When the officers engaged, the armed individual fled, and officers pursued them into a residence. Inside the residence, officers gave verbal commands to drop the weapon, as they struggled over the individual’s firearm. The individual and one of the officers both discharged their weapons, at which time the individual was struck and transported to the hospital where they were later pronounced deceased. A gun was recovered on scene.
COPA has released to its website for the officer-involved shooting: body-worn camera (BWC), in-car camera (ICC), third-party video, OEMC Transmissions, Case Incident and Tactical Response reports, which can be viewed by visiting: https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2023-0003622
