Protests Continue in Chicago over Police Killing of 13-Year-Old Adam Toledo

HeadlineApr 19, 2021

Protests are also continuing in Chicago over the police killing of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, a Latino boy. Police bodycam video shows Adam had his hands up in the air when he was shot dead by an officer in March. On Sunday, thousands marched in the largely Mexican neighborhood of Little Village, where Adam was killed. James Murphy, a longtime prosecutor in Cook County, has been placed on administrative leave after he falsely told a judge that Toledo was holding a gun when police shot him.
