  • On July 28, 2016, 18-year-old Paul O'Neal was shot in the back by Chicago Police Department officers following a grand theft auto chase. O'Neal had struck two police cars, a parked car, while operating a stolen Jaguar. Police say that O'Neal, who was unarmed, fled from the vehicle after the chase and refused to stop. The shooting was classified by the medical examiner as a homicide. The three officers who discharged their weapons were removed from duty following a preliminary investigation. Following an investigation, no criminal charges were brought against the officers involved. The LA Times notes Chicago's use-of-force policy specifically prohibits police from shooting into a car when the vehicle represents the only danger. However, this policy is not absolute and expressly applies "unless such force is reasonably necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to the sworn member or to another person." Chicago police released vehicle and body-worn camera video of the shooting on August 5, 2016. Prior to the release, the agency warned that civil unrest could follow. In 2020, officers Michael Coughlin and Jose Torres were fired for their roles in the killing. Jose Diaz, however, was not fired. Later that year, the city of Chicago settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by O'Neal's mother for $2.25 million. (en)
