CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is urging the public to remain peaceful and reserve judgment until an independent board can complete its investigation into the police shooting of a 13-year-old boy last month. During a news conference before the promised release of investigation materials, including body camera footage of an officer fatally shooting Adam Toledo on March 29, Lightfoot called on people to keep calm. Choking up at times, Lightfoot decried the city’s long history of police violence and misconduct, especially in black and brown communities, and said too many young people are left vulnerable to “systemic failures that we simply must fix.” The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said it would release footage of Toledo’s March 29 shooting and other materials Thursday.
