CHICAGO — Chicago police say the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo was a split-second decision, and he did not have a gun in his hand the moment he was shot.
Video footage of the shooting, released Thursday by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, shows a CPD officer, later identified as Eric Stillman, shooting Adam once in the chest around 2:30 a.m. on March 29 in the alley of the 2300 block of South Spaulding. Adam was shot after he and another man, 21-year-old Ruben Roman, allegedly ran away from police who were responding to the area for a report of gunfire.
