In Illinois, an off-duty Chicago police detective who opened fire on a group of people, killing an unarmed, 22-year-old African-American woman, has been acquitted. Dante Servin killed Rekia Boyd and injured her friend Antonio Cross in 2012, claiming he thought Cross had a gun. No gun was found. The judge dismissed the case before the defense even called a witness, saying Servin’s actions were “beyond reckless,” but prosecutors failed to prove their case. Rekia Boyd’s brother, Martinez Sutton, mourned outside the courthouse.

Martinez Sutton: “She will never come back. We’ll never be able to hug and kiss her no more. We’ll never be able to say, 'Rekia, I love you.' We’ll never be able to say, 'Can you watch my children for me? You want to go here?' We’ll never be able to see that smile again.”
