</div><p>On Wednesday, the state’s attorney’s office said Murphy “did not intend to give the impression that Adam Toledo was holding a gun when shot” and the “investigation revealed that the language the attorney used in court was inartful, leaving an unintended impression.”</p><p>Without mentioning Coleman’s forced resignation, the state’s attorney’s office in its statement also said its investigation “revealed a breakdown of communication in how information was shared, which ultimately did not get elevated to State’s Attorney Foxx before, nor in a timely manner following, the bond court hearing.”</p><p>Coleman, who was appointed <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2020/12/9/22165701/3-women-appointed-key-leadership-positions-states-attorneys-office-kim-foxx" target="_blank" >first assistant in December</a>, was asked to resign for failing to read the proffer and not showing the proper urgency required to correct the record after, a second source said.</p><p>“She was essentially fired,” that source said. </p><p>Foxx, who told staff about Coleman’s firing in an internal email, said “had that proffer been vetted by superiors . . . I don’t think we would have been in this position.”</p><p>Foxx said she was informed by email about Roman’s proffer that Saturday, but she said that no one flagged it for her to read that weekend when she may not be as responsive on email compared to a weekday. </p><p>“I wasn’t given the opportunity to read [the proffer] beforehand because those who would have been in the position to give it to me hadn’t notified me, hadn’t called me, hadn’t said . . . ‘You need to read this,’ ” Foxx said. “The ability [for me] to weigh in didn’t happen on this day.” </p><p>Coleman could not be reached for comment.</p><p>Murphy, who had been placed on paid leave while the internal investigation took place, will be resuming his duties in the office. </p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

</div>
<p>Murphy had not been given all the materials the state’s attorney’s office obtained from COPA, the city oversight agency that investigates officer-involved shootings, Foxx said.</p><p>The office’s Law Enforcement Accountability Division had the information from COPA but it wasn’t shared with the Felony Review Unit, which only had information from police. LEAD is “walled off” from other units and from Foxx until its investigation is complete. </p><p>Still Coleman, who reports directly to Foxx and oversees both units, should have reviewed Murphy’s proffer with her knowledge of the materials available to both units, Foxx said. </p><p>“I am not directly involved in the investigation of LEAD until they complete their initial work,” Foxx said. “It is by my own design. I think what has been evident in cases involving officer-involved shootings, is they’ve become very emotionally and politically charged.</p><p>“Politics should not impact how we review these cases. That was the intent of the design. ... I have the final say on whether charges are filed or not.”</p><p>While Foxx said she was told “very early on” about the content in the videos capturing Adam’s shooting, she did not watch them until April 12.

<p>Latino leaders gathered in Pilsen on Tuesday to call on the Chicago Police Department and city to put a moratorium on foot pursuits in the wake of two separate chases — just days apart — that ended in Latinos being fatally shot by police.</p><p>“The recent videos release of the foot pursuit shootings of Anthony Alvarez and Adam Toledo by Chicago police officers shows a department in crisis,” said attorney Arturo Jáuregui. CPD’s “inability to protect human life during foot pursuits, and use of force, is further evidence of a department in need of immediate reform.”</p><p>Jáuregui called for new policies and procedures for foot pursuits to clearly outline when an officer should engage in a chase and under what circumstances lethal force can be used. The new policies, he said, also should include disciplinary measures against cops who violate them.</p><p>The moratorium, Jáuregui added, should apply only when there is no imminent threat of harm to officers or bystanders.</p><p>“While a moratorium on foot pursuits will ease some of the psychological trauma that has resulted from these recent shootings in the Latino community, it does not address the underlying causes of the problem,” Jáuregui said. “Comprehensive reforms are needed to address poor and misguided policing practices that have plagued Black and Brown communities for decades.” </p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>Jesse Fuentes, director of policy with the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, said the police chases of both Adam and Alvarez created “an emotional climate that allowed CPD officers to make an unjustified and irrational decision to kill two Latino young men from our community” and strip them of their right to due process.</p><p>“We can no longer lead nor govern on our back foot. We must take immediate action,” Fuentes said.</p><p>Last month, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2021/4/20/22394235/adam-toledo-chicago-police-shooting-latino-leaders-justice-department-investigation-little-village" target="_blank" >Jáuregui and a group of Latino lawyers called</a> on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the fatal shooting of Adam, who was 13 years old.</p><p>A damning DOJ report, issued in 2017, listed “poor police practices” in Chicago, including “tactically unsound foot pursuits.”</p><p>That report said such pursuits sometimes ended in police shooting people they were chasing not because they were suspected of a serious crime, but simply because they were running away. Adrenaline and fatigue were listed as factors in police officers shooting people in foot chases, the report said.</p><p>Now, under a federal consent decree, CPD has agreed to make hundreds of reforms to police practices, including foot chases.</p><p>The latest report from a court-appointed independent monitor, which analyzed CPD data, said the department averages about seven foot pursuits per day with about one third of all reported foot pursuits ending with a use of force. The independent monitor also found “considerable progress toward tracking and analyzing” how often officers engage in foot pursuits.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

<p>It all happened so fast.</p><p>Barely two and a half minutes after police say Ruben Roman, accompanied by 13-year-old Adam Toledo, fired at a passing car on 24th Street in Little Village, a Chicago police officer shot and killed the boy in a nearby alley.</p><p>Two and a half minutes. </p><div class="RichTextSidebarModule Enhancement" data-module data-align-floatRight><a class="AnchorLink" id="module-3d0000" name="module-3d0000"></a>
<div class="RichTextSidebarModule-title">Opinion bug</div>
<div class="RichTextModule-items RichTextBody"><h2>Opinion</h2></div>
</div><p>Enough time for Roman, 21, and Adam to run north on Sawyer Avenue before ducking into the L-shaped alley along the back side of Farragut High School.</p><p>Enough time for a police dispatcher to report the detection by a ShotSpotter sensor of gunshots in the neighborhood and for two responding police officers to speed into the same alley and engage in a foot chase that would end in the tragic, split-second confrontation.</p><p>Enough time for multiple worlds to be turned upside-down. But still just two and a half minutes.</p><p>We know how long it took in part because both events were captured on the same video by a security camera at the high school. It points dispassionately over a parking lot toward the gap in the alley fence and beyond to a stoplight at 24th and Kedzie.</p><p>I hadn’t noticed the initial incident during the many times I’d viewed the video, my concentration fixed on the alley in anticipation of the foot chase, until I finally saw the blowup version provided by police. </p><p>Some say it doesn’t matter what happened before Adam was shot, that the only thing that matters is that his hands were empty and raised at the moment he was killed.</p><p>Of course, it matters. It all matters, every fateful second.</p><p>I stopped by Little Village to see for myself the site of the shooting. I’m glad I did because the makeshift shrine to the 13-year-old made me more mindful of the pain his death has caused this community.</p><p>Stacks of <i>veladoras, </i>the prayer candles popular with Mexican Americans, two basketballs, a football, a soccer ball and unopened boxes of Legos were among the many offerings left at the spot where he died. Weeks after his death, it remains a heartbreaking scene.</p><p>Seeing it — feeling it — was a reminder for me to tread softly because I have something to say that will not be popular with many of those who feel affected by the boy’s death.</p><p>Based on the evidence available to date, I believe the police officer who shot Adam Toledo should not be charged with a crime. He should not be treated like a criminal. I don’t even think he should be disciplined by the police department, even though it is clear he made a grievous and fatal error.</p><p>The officer, who has not been named by the Sun-Times because he has been accused of no crime, is not the latest Derek Chauvin or even the latest Jason Van Dyke. And those who lump them together under the heading of “police violence” are doing no favor to their cause.</p><p>This does not denigrate the life of this boy nor does it demean his family. It only recognizes that each case must be decided on its merits. And, in this case, the police officer was justified in believing he needed to defend himself.</p><p>To arrive at that conclusion, you don’t even need to apply the legal standard, just the human one: Walk a minute in the other man’s shoes.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

</div>
</div><p>On the night Adam Toledo was killed, two people from Little Village made calls to 911 to report shots fired just after 2:30 a.m.</p><p>One came from a man, the other from a woman. </p><p>Both callers sounded concerned but not panicked the way some people might be, the way I might be if it happened outside my home, perhaps because this is a neighborhood accustomed to the sound of gunshots.</p><p>The recordings of their calls got me thinking: What do people want when they call 911 to report gunfire?</p><p>They want the police to respond. And they want them to respond quickly. They want the police to do something. To catch the person with the gun if possible. To do what they can to make the gunfire stop. </p><p>If that means chasing those believed responsible, then they want them chased, even down a dark alley if that’s what it requires.</p><p>This is society’s expectation. It is the responsibility we place on police. It’s why we arm them with guns.</p><p>In return, we make a pact with the police: If officers act in good faith, if they conduct themselves reasonably, if they carry out their duties as they have been trained within the law, then we will allow them to use their guns to protect themselves.</p><p>I’m very much aware that I’m the old, white guy in this conversation that, in part, is about racism and, on top of that, someone who tends to view the police in a more sympathetic light. </p><p>So it’s fair that you might wonder how I reacted to the video of Adam’s death. </p><p>I cried. My chest heaved. I turned it off and walked away. Then, I returned and watched it again to the end.</p><p>As I did, I grieved for the boy, and I grieved for his family, and I grieved for the police officer and his family — and for our city.</p><p>If you really watched the video, then you know the police officer was distraught in the knowledge he had taken a life. </p><p>He had no way of knowing Adam Toledo was 13 years old, no way of knowing his gun was empty of ammunition.</p><p>But he knew someone had fired a gun and that this young male was carrying a gun and that sometimes young males fire their guns at the police.</p><p>Some people say Adam Toledo did everything right and was shot anyway. But he didn’t do everything right. He was at the scene of a shooting. When the police arrived, he was carrying a gun. And he ran. </p><p>And then, when he was caught, he foolishly tried to ditch the gun, without the police officer noticing, in the process shielding the officer’s view of the hand holding the gun as he turned.</p><p>Then, as he raised his hands in surrender, the police officer fired. </p><p>In hindsight, we know pulling the trigger was the wrong decision. But can any of us say we wouldn’t have done the same thing if we were in his shoes? </p><p>That’s what I see on those recordings, though only after slowing them down. I defy anyone to watch the videos in real time and tell me they could see what happened. </p><p>Some argue that the police need to change their tactics, end foot chases or perform them differently. Maybe so. It’s worth a discussion. But you can’t impose that standard after the fact on this police officer.</p><p>And, remember, it all happened so fast.</p><p><i>Editor’s note: The column previously misreported Adam’s height, and the column has been edited to remove that error.</i></p><p></p><p></p>

<p>Shouts of “we are Adam” echoed outside the office of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx as community activists listed their demands for justice in the shooting of 13-year-old Little Village resident Adam Toledo.</p><p>On Thursday, Little Village activists, members of Black Lives Matter and other advocates gathered at 69 W. Washington St. to criticize Foxx and prosecutor in her office who failed to present all of the facts of Adam’s case during a bond hearing.</p><p>Baltazar Enriquez, a Little Village leader, called on Foxx to publicly apologize and file a capital murder charge against the officer who shot Adam on March 29.</p><p>Enriquez added her group has submitted complaints about Foxx and Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy to the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission and want Murphy’s license revoked.</p><p>“Shame on Kim Foxx for not defending her people,” Enriquez said. “We put her in office, and we’ll take her out of office ... We are not playing games. Charge the officer now, arrest the officer now.”</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

</div><p>Wednesday’s brief dust-up happened after the mayor agreed to suspend the rules and allow Little Village Ald.

This is not really the proper place to speak to this. You can certainly speak to it during the committee process,” Lightfoot said.</p><p>Rodriguez said he understood, but “given the recency and the tragic nature of this occurrence, I just wanted to briefly speak to this resolution. It’ll be under a minute. … I just want to raise up the situation as one that has been internationally recognized.”</p><p>When Lightfoot told him to keep it brief, Rodriguez read from the resolution expressing the City Council’s “grief and sorrow” at the police shooting that culminated in Toledo’s death. </p><p>“As a city, we need time to grieve, to mourn and to heal together. But we also need to re-imagine, re-invent and reform the societal factors and pressures that led to losing one of our sons far too soon,” Rodriguez said, reading from the resolution.</p><p>“We need to do the work for Adam and for all of Brown and Black boys to reform our police department and commit to substantive, sustained investments in our communities to create real futures for young people of color across our city. … While we rightly demand accountability for Adam’s death through an open, transparent, just and expedient investigation, we also want everyone to remember and celebrate Adam’s life … as a 13-year-old child whose life was taken much too soon.”</p><p>Lightfoot agreed with the tone of the resolution.</p><p>“We all need to pray for the Toledo family as we continue giving them support,” the mayor said.</p><p>Lightfoot then agreed to recognize Sigcho-Lopez, even as she warned, “Folks, we’re not gonna start a precedent here of speaking on matters that are simply being introduced. … So, Alderman Sigcho-Lopez, I will give you a brief moment to speak. Brief, sir.”</p><p>Sigcho-Lopez promised not to take long. But he made the mayor regret the exception she had just made. <br></p>

<p>More than a dozen Latino leaders gathered at the Pilsen Law Center Tuesday to call on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the fatal shooting by a Chicago police officer of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and for new policies to stop future acts of police violence.</p><p>“The killing of Adam Toledo at the hands of the police brings to the forefront the pressing need to address the Chicago police enforcement policies and practices in the Latino community,” attorney Arturo Jáuregui, said, reading from a joint statement. “Latinos, like their African American neighbors, have always been on the receiving end of poorly conceived police law enforcement policies and practices.”</p><p>Jáuregui was joined by members of the Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois and the American Bar Association’s Commission on Hispanic Legal Rights and Responsibilities. Ald. Michael Rodriguez (22nd) and leaders of some nonprofit groups also attended to show support.</p><p>The group called on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to conduct an investigation into the “circumstances that led to and resulted in” Adam’s death and provided three points the probe should focus on:</p><p>• The DOJ should help “establish clear procedures and policies” outlining when a police officer should engage in a foot pursuit and set rules for disciplining officers who don’t follow those newly outline procedures.</p><p>Jáuregui said current foot pursuit guidelines are “confusing at best.”</p><p>CPD already is operating under a court-ordered consent decree that requires hundreds of reforms to police practices, including foot chases. The latest report from an independent monitor said the department is close to complying with those requirements for foot chases, including better training and tracking foot pursuits that end in the use of force.</p><div class="RelatedList Enhancement" data-module data-align-center>

<p>• The DOJ should help develop oversight on how police officers interact with children — especially when lethal force is used. This, Jáuregui said, will stop future cases like Adam’s death.</p><p>“The police video of the shooting in Adam’s case shows a terrified 13-year-old boy running from the police, disposing of what appears to be a gun and then complying with the officer’s commands,” Jáuregui said. “Yet he was shot in the chest and died in the alley less than a minute after being shot.”</p><p>• Lastly, the DOJ should help establish policies under which an officer can engage in a car chase in densely populated neighborhoods.</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>

<p>A veteran Cook County prosecutor was placed on administrative leave Friday night because he “failed to fully present the facts” during a bond hearing last week when he didn’t specifically state that 13-year-old Adam Toledo was unarmed at the moment a Chicago police officer shot him, according to State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office. </p><p>“In court last week, an attorney in our office failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy,” Foxx spokeswoman Sarah Sinovic said in a statement. “We have put that individual on leave and are conducting an internal investigation into the matter.”</p><p>During an April 10 bond hearing <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/4/10/22377141/adam-toledo-shooting-ruben-roman-charged-chicago-police-shooting" target="_blank" >describing allegations against 21-year-old Ruben Roman</a> — who was arrested at the scene of Adam’s shooting in Little Village — Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy told Judge Susana Ortiz that Toledo had a gun in his right hand a moment before he was shot.</p><p>“The officer tells [Adam] to drop it as [Adam] turns towards the officer. [Adam] has a gun in his right hand,” Murphy said. “The officer fires one shot at [Adam], striking him in the chest. The gun that [Adam] was holding landed against the fence a few feet away.”</p><p>Murphy’s statement matches a portion of what the video of the fatal March 29 shooting shows, but did not specifically note that Adam dropped the weapon and had his hands in the air less than a second before he was shot by the officer. </p><p>Chicago news outlets, including the Chicago Sun-Times, reported that Murphy was indicating Adam had a gun in his hand when he was shot.</p><p>Murphy will be on paid leave during investigation, Sinovic said. </p><p>The state’s attorney’s office has declined to say why it took five days for them to release a statement clarifying Murphy’s outlining of criminal charges, which is known as a proffer. </p><p>When they did — hours before <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/2021/4/15/22383392/adam-toledo-shooting-video-released-chicago-police-bodycam" target="_blank" >footage of the shooting was released to the public</a> by a police oversight agency Thursday — the state’s attorney’s office accused Murphy of “failing to fully inform himself before speaking in court.”</p><p>“Errors like that cannot happen and this has been addressed with the individual involved. The video speaks for itself,” Sinovic said Thursday. </p><p>In an internal letter to prosecutors Friday night discussing the office’s statement about Murphy, Foxx wrote: “It later because evident that the language of the proffer did not fully reflect all the evidence that had been given to our office.”</p><p>On Friday, <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/4/16/22388289/states-attorneys-office-investigating-prosecutor-proffer-tied-to-adam-toledos-shooting" target="_blank" >Sinovic told the Sun-Times</a> that not all of the footage released the day before was available to Murphy when he read the statement during Ruben’s bond hearing, but declined to say what footage was available to the office at that time and who in the state’s attorney’s office had seen it. </p><p>“It’s still under investigation what videos were available to [Murphy],” Sinovic said. “We’re still trying to figure out what he had access to when he made the statements in court.”</p><p>Sinovic said she could not say, nearly a week after the bond hearing, whether anyone else at the office had read Murphy’s statement before it was read in court and if it was approved by a superior. Nor would she describe the office’s policy for approving statements before they are read in court. </p><p>Two sources with knowledge of the investigation told the Sun-Times that Murphy’s proffer had not been approved or read by anyone else in the state’s attorney’s office before it was presented to the judge.</p><p>Sinovic stressed that the office did not believe Murphy had lied or knowingly presented inaccurate information to a judge, but were concerned that his statement in court had been misinterpreted because Murphy had failed to “make it clear at what point [Adam] didn’t have the gun.”</p><p>In her letter Friday, Foxx appeared to acknowledge what sources in the office said is a widespread perception that Murphy “was being thrown under the bus,” as one prosecutor who asked to remain anonymous told a reporter. </p><p>“For many of you it may have been jarring to see our statement regarding this matter,” Foxx wrote. “It is indeed a rarity to see the Office make such a public statement related to the actions of an [assistant state’s attorney]. It was not done lightly.”</p><p></p>
