Overview

• The case is being heard without a jury at the Lake County Courthouse in Waukegan.
• Dante Salinas is charged with second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, and official misconduct.
• Prosecutors say he fired seven shots into Tafarra Williams' vehicle after a crash as it backed past him, and investigators concluded he was not in the car's path when he opened fire.
• His body-worn camera was not activated until after the shooting, and neither Williams nor Marcellis Stinnette had a weapon, according to the state's attorney.
• If convicted, Salinas faces up to 20 years for second-degree murder, with any sentence concurrent with up to five years for involuntary manslaughter.
