$742,500 Verdict – Police Shooting

A father of two young children was shot and killed during an acute mental health crisis by Chicago Police Officers Patrick Kelly and Antonio Corral, who along with other officers, were responding to a domestic incident at his girlfriend’s home. After he found himself in a small space in the home's kitchen and dinette area surrounded by a sea of officers with Kelly and Corral at the forefront with their guns drawn, he tried to move away and was shot 13 times, with eight of the shots to his back and died at the scene. A civil jury found the former Chicago Police Officers and the City of Chicago liable for his death.
