The Civilian Office of Police Accountability was expected to release video footage this week that captures Dexter Reed being shot by officers and killed in West Garfield Park last month.
Evidence markers are placed near a police SUV as police investigate at the scene of a shooting where an officer and at least one offender were shot near the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street on Thursday, March 21, 2024, in Chicago. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability was expected to release video footage this week that captures a fatal shooting involving Chicago police officers in West Garfield Park last month, according to a family lawyer for the man who was killed.
One CPD officer was also shot in the wrist, according to COPA. A gun was recovered by police, authorities said, though it was unclear Monday whether Reed pointed that weapon at officers or fired it. Reed’s family was expected to view the police body-camera footage Monday with representatives from COPA, according to attorney Andrew M. Stroth. Reed’s family was planning to hold a press conference Tuesday afternoon to address the shooting.
“Dexter was the second oldest of three children,” his family wrote. “He has an older sister Porscha and younger brother Julius. Dexter played basketball at Westinghouse College Prep High School and led the team to a regional championship in 2016. After high school, Dexter went to school and played basketball at Morton College. While Dexter enjoyed basketball, he aspired to one day become a sports broadcaster. Dexter’s favorite artist was Jay-Z.
