Chicago releases video of officer shooting 13-year-old Latino boy

Video shows Adam Toledo raise his hands before officer fires one shot; police say a gun was recovered from the scene.

Chicago’s police accountability office on Thursday released body-camera video footage showing a police officer shooting and killing a 13-year-old boy in an alley more than two weeks ago. The nine-minute video began by showing an unidentified police officer getting out of his squad car and running after Adam Toledo, who was Latino, in an alley in the early hours of March 29 in Little Village, a neighbourhood on the city’s West Side. The video then showed the officer yelling “stop” to Toledo before he caught up to him and ordered him to show him his hands. Toledo appeared to raise his hands right before the officer fired one shot and then immediately ran to the boy as he fell to the ground.
