In a memo to Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling from COPA Chief Administrator Andrea Kersten, dated April 1, Kersten requests that all four officers involved in the Dexter Reed shooting be stripped of their policing powers given their investigation's findings.
COPA released bodycam video Tuesday of a police-involved Chicago shooting that killed Dexter Reed in Garfield Park.
An 11th District Tactical Unit said it had pulled Reed over on March 26, shortly after 6 p.m. on the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street after observing Reed not wearing a seatbelt. COPA said that Reed did not respond to the officers' verbal commands and that Reed shot at officers first, injuring one officer.One officer in particular, the memo notes, "fired at least 50 times, including the three final shots while was lying motionless on the ground."
