A federal lawsuit accuses a Chicago police officer of using “unprovoked and unwarranted” force and violating the department’s foot chase policy when they shot and killed Reginald Clay Jr. over the weekend in Garfield Park.
The officer “chased him down and shot him several times, despite no need for this use of deadly force,” the lawsuit states. “The police chased him and attempted to seize him in violation of the Chicago Police Department foot pursuit policy.”
