Chicago police fired 96 shots after gunfire broke out at a fatal traffic stop, agency says. Here's what bodycam footage
Chicago police fired 96 shots after gunfire broke out at a fatal traffic stop, agency says. Here’s what bodycam footage shows
Newly released bodycam footage reveals the chaotic moments before and after 26-year-old Dexter Reed was fatally shot during a traffic stop by Chicago police.
The deadly encounter happened in a residential neighborhood on March 21. In one video, an officer approaches the driver of a white vehicle with dark-tinted windows. “Roll the window down. Roll the window down,” she tells the driver. But he keeps rolling the window up.
“What are you doing?” the officer asks. “Don’t roll the window up. Do not roll the window up!”
The officer pulls on the driver’s locked door handle and draws her gun.
“Unlock the doors now! Unlock the doors now!” she screams, as another officer shouts the same demands.
