Chicago braces for release of another police shooting video

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot called for calm Wednesday ahead of the release of video showing police fatally shoot a 22-year-old man — a repeat of just two weeks ago, when she called for peace before the release of footage showing police kill a 13-year-old boy. In her statement, Lightfoot didn't say when the video of the March 31 shooting of Anthony Alvarez would be released. But the independent police review board, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, provided it to the Latino man's family on Tuesday and the head of the police union said it could be released to the public as soon as Wednesday. An attorney for the Alvarez family, Todd Pugh, said he watched the video, “And I saw a Chicago police officer shoot their son as he ran away from them."
