Chicago Mayor Lightfoot calls for release of videos after 13-year-old boy killed by police
Fox News
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday called for the release of video footage that could shed light on the police killing of a 13-year-old boy this week.
An officer opened fire and struck the boy after a "confrontation," police said. The department tweeted a photo of a handgun recovered from the scene. Lightfoot, who has a 13-year-old daughter, urged the city's Civilian Office of Police Accountability to release police body camera footage to the boy's family and then the public. "Because his family and the public will undoubtedly have many questions, we must release any relevant videos as soon as possible," Lightfoot said in a series of tweets. "Recognizing that these are the most complex cases that COPA investigates, transparency and speed are crucial."
