A 13-year-old boy who was shot as he ran from a stolen car had put up his hands and had no weapon but was shot in the back by a Chicago police officer, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday.
The lawsuit faults the Chicago Police Department for being slow to adopt reforms to address CPD’s "long sordid history of using excessive force," citing recent reports by the federal monitor overseeing the department and the claims of a former supervisor in the department’s audit division.
An officer chased A.G. on foot after the teen jumped out of the stolen Honda and shot him in the back, causing injuries to the teen’s spinal cord and internal wounds that have left the boy "permanently and catastrophically" injured, the lawsuit states. The carjacker was seen getting into the Accord, which Brown said had been located by license plate readers around Chicago throughout the day of the shooting and came under surveillance of a police helicopter.
