Former federal prosecutor Steven Block sided with Police Supt. David Brown, who recommended that Solano be suspended for 20 days. Block could have sent Solano’s case to the full Police Board, which could have terminated him, but chose not to do so.
An image from body camera video released April 28 by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability shows Anthony Alvarez, 22, in the moments before he was shot by a Chicago police officer March 31, 2021.
Former federal prosecutor Steven Block sided with Brown, who recommended that Solano be suspended for 20 days. Block could have sent Solano’s case to the full Police Board, which could have terminated him, but chose not to do so. “In our city and because of the long history of distrust in our systems of government, every incident that results in the death of someone at the hands of law enforcement should result in a full evidentiary hearing,” Kersten said. ”This is not about winning or losing, but about facts, evidence and testimony being presented before the full Police Board before a final decision is determined. We respect the process but strongly disagree with the final decision put forward by the one-member review.
Alvarez began to run, and the officers started chasing him on foot. Alvarez — who was carrying a gun in his right hand and his phone in his left — made his way through an alley and then on to Eddy Street, where he slipped and fell on a residential lawn.
