The DuPage County State’s Attorney will not file criminal charges against Carol Stream police officers in the shooting death of 30-year-old Isaac Goodlow…
, the office will not pursue charges against Officer Daniel Pfingston or two other officers that entered the residence in the February shooting.According to authorities, officers were called to a residence after a report of a “domestic violence incident.” Officers were given permission to enter the residence by a woman who alleged that Goodlow had attacked her during the incident, and a single shot was fired during the confrontation that followed, striking Goodlow in the chest.
The investigation also concluded that crime scene photos did not show blood on the bed, and that video shows Goodlow was not in bed when he was shot, according to Berlin.According to the narrative provided by Berlin’s office, an officer’s body camera showed what appeared to be Goodlow’s leg coming out of the bedroom door, and showed his right arm “bent and his right hand at about shoulder height.”
Another officer deployed a taser as Goodlow came out of the bedroom, but it lodged in a wall and in another officer’s shoulder, according to Berlin’s report. Finally, a third officer was pushed over, which led to an accidental discharge of a weapon, according to police. Berlin took care to note that he did not find Pfingston justified in use of deadly force, but that the state “cannot meet its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt” that Pfingston was not legally justified in the shooting.
