Officer Erik Moreno was expected to be released from the University of Chicago Medical Center Tuesday, but the release date has been now moved to Wednesday.
Outside the hospital, Chicago Fraternal Order of Police President John Catanzara spoke about Moreno and how he is doing.
Around 2 p.m. Sunday, police said Officer Moreno pulled a car over in an unmarked police vehicle in the 6900 block of South Sangamon Street in Englewood. Officer Moreno got out of the squad car and walked up to Halsey, prosecutors said. Moreno was feet away from the driver's side door when prosecutors say Halsey"opened the door and fired a gun."Meanwhile, the second officer involved fired 10 shots at Halsey while Halsey turned in his direction with the gun, prosecutors said. The third officer also saw Halsey pointing the gun in his direction and firing.
In court, a prosecutor said Halsey had a gun case on May 10, 2019, consisting of two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm and got one year of probation. Halsey filed to have the cases expunged in March, but records are not clear on what happened after that.
