More than seven years after a racially charged melee and police shooting left a man dead in Mount Greenwood, a proposed settlement was reached last week between the city and the man’s family, court…
Cordney Boxley, sister of Joshua Beal, talks about her brother’s character during a news conference held by members of the Black Lives Matter movement at the Calumet Chicago Police Department, on Nov. 6, 2016, in the Mount Greenwood community. “My brother has been painted to be this bad person when really he was a father,” she said as her voice cracked.
The eruption of gunfire in the Far Southwest Side neighborhood prompted several protests by local Black Lives Matter demonstrators, who were met with racial hostility and derision by residents of Mount Greenwood. Treacy, who denied using any racial epithets, soon separated from the group and the convoy eventually came to a stop outside the Chicago Fire Department firehouse at 111th and Troy. Two vehicles carrying Beal and other family members had stopped in the firehouse’s “apron,” and an off-duty CFD recruit stopped his vehicle to tell them to move out of the way.
Video footage of the shooting previously released by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability shows Treacy also holding his badge while announcing his office as he came to Kinsella’s aid. A woman who witnessed the fight called 911 as she stood on a nearby sidewalk, and she was also attacked by members of Beal’s family.
