Kim Foxx announced Tuesday that her office will not file criminal charges against the Chicago police officers who shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez in separate shootings just days apart last year.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx announced Tuesday that her office will not file criminal charges against the Chicago police officers who killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez in separate on-duty shootings just days apart last year.Foxx said her office reviewed the evidence of both shootings and decided against charging Officer Eric Stillman in the death of Toledo, or Officer Evan Solano in the death of Alvarez.
With the anniversary of both shootings coming up later this month, Foxx said the families of both Toledo and Alvarez were “heartbroken” when informed that no criminal charges would be filed against the officers. “I want to once again publicly give my deepest condolences to the family of Anthony Alvares and Adam Toledo,” Foxx said during a press conference Tuesday. “I sat with them here in the office earlier this morning and the grief on their mothers’, their fathers’ and family members' faces was almost unbearable.”
Foxx said her office considered first- and second-degree-murder charges against the officers. But prosecutors ultimately decided the evidence was “insufficient to support criminal charges.” Toledo and Alvarez were each killed after being chased on foot by officers. Both incidents sparked outrage as Toledo had dropped a firearm he was carrying and appeared to put his hands in the air before he was shot, while Alvarez was shot in the back while attempting to flee police.
