From what was released to CBS 2, the body camera footage from the officer who allegedly fired the shots does not appear to begin until after the shooting occurred.
Civilian Office of Police Accountability had previously said they wouldn't release the video since it involves a juvenile. Instead, COPA released the video to the family. The family's attorney gave CBS 2 the video. The mother is also demanding that video of the incident be released to the public. The lawsuit, which identifies the boy only as"A.G.," said the shooting is proof that there is a"widespread pattern and practice of using excessive force, including deadly force, against African Americans" within the Chicago Police Department. The lawsuit called the seventh grader the latest victim of the Chicago Police Department's"systemic failures."A.G.'s mother, Cierra Corbitt, filed a federal lawsuit against the city and the officer who shot him.
CBS 2 is not naming the officer involved because he has not been charged. CBS 2 has reached out to the Attorney for the officer for a response. The incident is still under investigation, and there were at least 8 different videos released, including body cameras from five different officers.
