Donna Murray stands with her husband, Tom Murray, as she speaks at a news conference at the Romanucci & Blandin LLC office about the filing of a lawsuit in the shooting death of their son, Jack Murray, by Elk Grove Village police on May 30, 2024.

Dozens of Murray’s friends attended the news conference, wearing white T-shirts that said “Justice for Jack.”
