City will seek to dismiss federal complaint in shooting death of 13-year-old Adam Toledo
The city of Chicago plans to seek dismissal of a new federal complaint filed by the family of Adam Toledo, the 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer in 2021, according to documents filed Thursday, even as the family is pushing for a January trial date. A report, filed in federal court in Chicago, offers the first look at the status of the federal civil case in the March 29, 2021 police shooting that roiled the city, after a state court case was abruptly dropped just before jury selection was about to set off a high-profile trial. The status report, which was written jointly by attorneys for Toledo’s parents, as well as the city and Officer Eric Stillman, indicates at least several months more of litigation and evidence production for a case that was on the eve of trial earlier this year. Stillman shot Toledo after the chase in an alley behind Farragut Career Academy High School in Little Village. In the report, Toledo’s family proposed that a trial should begin around Jan.
