Overview
- Chicago police and federal agents responded to a shooting in the 1700 block of South Union in Pilsen on Monday that involved an FBI agent and left one person wounded.
- The Chicago Fire Department transported the person to a hospital and the Cook County Medical Examiner confirmed late Tuesday that the person died.
- CPD’s Investigative Response Team documented the scene while the FBI’s Inspection Division opened a review under the bureau’s internal policy for agent-involved shootings.
- Reporters at the scene observed officers around a motorized or electric bike and police scanner traffic referenced a weapon under the person on the ground; officials have released few additional facts.
- Nearby streets and the 18th Street exit were closed, causing major traffic delays, and the case could prompt public scrutiny of federal and local review practices as investigators complete their work.
