Three years after he was shot by police — a shooting that purportedly set off a round of looting in the downtown area — an Englewood man was convicted of attempted murder of two Chicago police officers.
A Cook County jury late Wednesday found Latrell Allen, 23, guilty of four counts of attempted murder and four counts of aggravated discharge of a firearm, according to county court records. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 11.Prosecutors argued that on Aug. 9, 2020, someone called 911 to report a male with a gun in a park near 57th Street and Racine Avenue. Officers assigned to CPD’s Community Safety Team chased Allen into a nearby alley, where they said he fired at them.
In a statement issued Thursday, Allen’s attorney Danielle Pinkston said she planned to file post-trial motions “requesting the court to correct the numerous reversible errors made before and during trial.”Chicago Tribune editors' top story picks, delivered to your inbox each afternoon.
