As Adam Toledo was buried Friday, lawyers for his family said they were scheduled to view police video next week after a Chicago police officer shot and killed the 13-year-old during what police called an armed confrontation late last month in the Little Village neighborhood, lawyers for the family said.
The attorneys have said they were assured the video would not be made public until the family had viewed it. In their statement Friday, they did not specify which day the family would view the video.
“The family appreciates the outpouring of support and the respect shown for their privacy in this time of mourning,” the attorneys, Adeena Weiss Ortiz and Joel Hirschhorn, said.
Since he was shot March 29, Toledo has been remembered at vigils, and community members have held rallies calling for the release of the video. Mayor Lori Lightfoot has called for a new police foot-pursuit policy to be implemented by the Chicago Police Department before the start of the summer and demanded an investigation into the gun recovered at the scene where Toledo was killed.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability, which is investigating whether the officer who pulled the trigger was justified in shooting the teen, has said it plans to release the video.
It’s unclear when the footage will be released publicly, but according to city policy, video of police shootings, as well as the accompanying paperwork, must be made public within 60 days of the incident, unless officials request a 30-day extension after that.
The attorneys for Toledo’s family said Friday the city, Chicago Police Department and COPA have been cooperative.
