Man sues over police shooting — then is arrested on murder warrant
Source: Chicago Tribune
In announcing a $15 million lawsuit over his shooting two years ago by Chicago police, Dominiq Greer told reporters Wednesday he'd never been accused of a violent offense in his life.
Moments later, he was arrested on a warrant for murder.
The bizarre turn of events unfolded shortly after Greer wrapped up a lengthy news conference in his lawyer's Loop offices. As the 25-year-old Greer left the high-rise in the 200 block of West Monroe Street to get a lift from a ride-sharing service, an unmarked police vehicle pulled up and two officers took him into custody on a warrant accusing him in a fatal shooting from just a week and a half ago.
For nearly the previous hour, Greer and his lawyer, Eugene Hollander, had taken questions in a crowded conference room about the lawsuit filed in federal court Wednesday over his being shot seven times by a police officer during a chase on the Fourth of July in 2014.
Hollander released video from a private security camera that captured the shooting and part of the chase.
