Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Little Village, and friends and family members gathered to issue new demands of Chicago police.
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office decided not to file charges against Stillman, and a police investigation found that Stillman made a split-second decision and that he acted appropriately in opening fire.
“Under Illinois law, an officer is justified in using force likely to cause death or great bodily harm when he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or to others,” State’s Attorney Kim Foxx said. Family of Toledo say that they met with Foxx, and that they are urging her to re-consider her decision.
“After meeting with Kim Foxx, we are distraught and unhappy,” Ramon Perez said. “However, as a family we are together and we won’t stop until we know justice is on our side.” Charges are still pending against Ruben Roman, the 21-year-old man who was with Toledo at the time of the shooting. He was charged with several felonies, including endangerment of a child.
