A man who was shot and killed during a foot chase with Chicago police last month appeared to be holding a gun as he turned toward an officer, according to body-worn camera footage released Wednesday.
Neither the police department nor COPA initially described Clay holding the gun when he was shot, though CPD Deputy Chief Rahman Muhammad told reporters on the scene that Clay turned toward the officer and “brandished a handgun.”
That controversial policy was put in place after the fatal police shootings of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez, and it prohibits officers from chasing a suspect because of the “mere act of flight alone.”
