The woman was a mother of six and was struck by a squad car chasing another vehicle. She was on her way home from work.
An officer walks by three vehicles, including a Chicago police squad car, that were damaged while police pursued a suspect near North Ashland Avenue and Irving Park Road on June 3, 2020, in Chicago. A pedestrian was struck by a police car and died.
Meanwhile, the suspect the officer was chasing remains in Cook County Jail and awaits trial for charges including murder in connection to that night, court records said. He will not be liable for any damages in the suit against the city.

The officer who later crashed into Francisco-Martinez was sitting nearby in his marked police car with his partner, Ruether said. He turned on the emergency lights and siren and pursued the suspect 3.2 miles down Irving Park to Ashland, with both of them driving on the wrong side the street when near a construction site.As the two vehicles approached the intersection, the silver Nissan blew past the red light, Ruether said.
Ruether noted that depending on the verdict in the criminal case against Oliver, he could be financially liable, but “he’s not going to be able to pay any amount of it. That’s just the reality of the situation.” Stressing an officer will never be disciplined for ending a vehicle chase, the revised code said: “It is the Chicago Police Department’s goal to ensure department members consider the need for immediate apprehension of an eluding suspect and the requirement to protect the public from the danger created by eluding offenders.”
