Body camera footage of a deadly police-involved shooting is expected to be released Tuesday, an attorney for the slain man’s family and a source from Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability told CNN.
The deadly encounter happened March 21, when Dexter Reed, 26, was shot and killed in Chicago’s Garfield Park neighborhood, Chicago police said. According to preliminary information, the incident started when five officers assigned to a tactical unit pulled over a vehicle for a traffic stop, the accountability office said in a March news release. After the initial traffic stop, there was an “exchange of gunfire,” Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said last month.
” The police chief said “there’s bodycam footage of everything” and the accountability office has the police department’s “full cooperation.” According to the accountability office, “The officers approached the vehicle while giving verbal commands to an individual inside. There was then an exchange of gunfire between the officers, who were positioned on each side of the vehicle, and the individual.
