Sunday marks 10 years since murder of Laquan McDonald by CPD officer
CHICAGO -- Sunday marks 10 years since the murder of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by former Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke. The only video that anyone could find capturing the 16 gunshots that killed McDonald at 40th Street and Pulaski Road in the Archer Heights neighborhood was from a dashcam inside a police car. A University of Chicago professor called for the release of the video in December 2014.
In a statement Sunday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said: Ten years ago, we grieved with the McDonald family as Chicago learned of the tragic loss of their son, brother and friend, Laquan. Laquan McDonald deserved better from the City of Chicago, and we are still fighting for equitable community safety ten years after his tragic death.
