The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released video showing two Chicago police officers in plain clothes shoot a 23-year-old man in Pilsen, resulting in both officers being hit with felony charges.
Video released by COPA shows the incident from which two Chicago police officers have been charged with felonies after a shooting in Pilsen on July 22, 2022.
Sgt. Christopher Liakopoulos, 43, who has been with the Department since 2001, and Officer Ruben Reynoso, 42, who has worked at CPD since 2003, were charged last week with aggravated battery and official misconduct after the July 22 shooting.After the shooting, police Superintendent David Brown initially told reporters that after one officer identified himself to the group outside the closed business, one of the people in the group pulled out a handgun, sparking an exchange of gunfire.
Last Friday, Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx announced the charges against the officers at a news conference, and said video of the shooting contradicted the officers’ statements of events. Cook County Associate Judge Maryam Ahmad had set $25,000 bonds for both during a hearing Friday afternoon, and they both were released the same day after posting bond.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released video Tuesday showing two Chicago police officers in plain clothes and in an unmarked vehicle shoot a 23-year-old man in Pilsen, resulting in both officers being hit with felony charges and taken off the force.
