Overview
- The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) is investigating two Chicago Police Department shootings, including one at an assisted living facility in Grand Crossing and another involving an off-duty officer in Roseland.
- Officers fatally shot a knife-wielding man early Monday at the Grand Regency of Jackson Park after Tasers failed to subdue him during a confrontation in his unit.
- Hours later, Keith Harding, 58, was found dead with stab wounds on the same floor of the facility; police believe the man shot by officers is the suspect in Harding's death.
- Body-camera footage from the Grand Crossing incident is under review, and the involved officers have been placed on administrative duty for at least 30 days per department policy.
- Homicide detectives and COPA continue their investigations into both the fatal shooting and Harding's death, with findings pending from the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.
