No Charges for Illinois Officers in Fatal Shooting of Unarmed Man
Prosecutor cites insufficient evidence to convict officers involved in the death of Isaac Goodlow during a domestic violence call.
- Isaac Goodlow was shot by police officers responding to a 911 call from his girlfriend, who reported being assaulted by him.
- Officers entered Goodlow's apartment after an hour of announcing their presence and using a key provided by a building employee.
- Goodlow's sudden movement in a dark bedroom led an officer to discharge his weapon, believing Goodlow posed a threat.
- Body camera footage and witness statements were reviewed, but the prosecutor determined the evidence was not enough for criminal charges.
- Goodlow's family has filed a lawsuit against the police department, alleging excessive force was used in the incident.
