https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2021/4/1/22362227/adam-toledo-little-village-police-shootingAfter police shot and killed a 13-year-old boy in what officials described as an “armed confrontation” in Little Village early Monday, everyone from Mayor Lori Lightfoot to community activists to the boy’s neighbors on Thursday called for the release of videos that could shed light on what happened.
The boy’s mother also said she wants answers about the death of her son, who she said wanted to be a police officer someday.
“He wanted to be a cop when he grew up,” Elizabeth Toledo told the Sun-Times of her son, Adam. “And next thing you know, a cop took his life.”
The Cook County medical examiner said Adam, 13, was shot in his chest and later died in the incident, which took place in an alley west of the 2300 block of South Sawyer Avenue.
