A judge won't block the release of a video showing a Pilsen shooting that led to charges against two CPD officers.
Lawyers for the two officers said the video being released by COPA shows only "half" of the incident, and could bias prospective jurors if made public. While the video will show the officers firing shots, it will not show a 17-year-old boy "dropping into a two-point stance and firing at two police officers," said Brian Sexton, the attorney representing Reynoso.
"Once our officer identified himself as a police officer, they began pulling a gun and shooting at our officers, trying to kill them," Brown said at the time. On Monday, Brown said he agreed with the state's attorney's office's findings that video evidence disproved the early claim that "there was an initial exchange of gunfire." He noted that preliminary statements on police shootings are typically based on "our initial interactions with what officers may say at the scene."
Brown declined to say whether he backed Foxx's decision to file the criminal charges before COPA completed its investigation, citing the oversight agency's ongoing probe of the shooting.He insisted he needs to remain as "impartial" as possible as that investigation proceeds, given that he will eventually have to formally respond to COPA's disciplinary recommendations for the officers.
The 17-year-old took off running, grabbing a gun from his satchel and firing at the officers. A 35-year-old man walking in the area suffered a graze wound to his leg, according to officials.
