Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability released a video earlier this week of the fatal police shooting of Dexter Reed Junior.
The bodycam footage from last month shows five officers swarming Reed’s SUV in the Humboldt Park neighborhood.
Officials with the Civilian Office of Police Accountability say Reed fired at the officers first. But the bodycam video doesn’t clearly show that.
Four officers fired 96 shots in 41 seconds.
And just to caution listeners, we’re going to hear some of that video now and it does include gunshots.
