Adam Toledo: Body Cam Shows Police Murdered 13-Year-Old & Lied About Him Having A Gun

[UPDATE: Chicago Police Says New Video Shows Gun In Adam Toledo’s Hand]

13-year-old Adam Toledo was murdered by Chicago police officer Eric Stillman on March 29, 2021.

Then, police claimed Adam had a gun in his right hand when he was fatally shot.

Disturbing bodycam footage released on Thursday by the city’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability proves police killed that child in cold blood, then lied to cover it up.

Police were reportedly responding to a call of shots fired in the West Side neighborhood around 2:30 a.m.

When they arrived, police said Adam and 21-year-old Ruben Roman ran from them. 

Roman fell to the ground and was handcuffed. 

Stillman continued to chase Adam Toledo down an alley. 

He commanded Adam stop running and show his hands.

The bodycam video shows Adam turning around, unarmed, with his hands in the air.

34-year-old Stillman yells, “Drop it, drop it,” then shoots Adam in the chest killing him.

At a press conference, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the video was hard to watch.

As more and more people see this footage, I want to ask again that everyone tuning in thik first about Adam Toledo. No parent should ever have a video broadcast widely of their child’s last moments.

Adam Toledo is currently trending on social media as people react to the bodycam footage.

Peep the tweets below:

When 13 year-old Adam Toledo was shot in Chicago, the prosecutor immediately said he had a gun. Now, with video coming out today, the state’s attorney’s office says that was "inaccurate." They really lied about a kid having a gun to justify his murder.

The city of Chicago has released police bodycam video of the fatal shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo. A Cook County prosecutor previously claimed the child had a gun in his right hand, but the video shows Adam's hands were raised with no weapon at the time he was shot.

The body cam of Adam Toledo's murder is disturbing. He was only 13 years old and his hands were up. America's overpolicing experiment has been an abject failure. We have a racist police crisis. Kids with their hands in the air are being killed.

People love to say "if he'd of complied, he'd be alive." Adam Toledo, a child, put his hands in the air and was immediately gunned down by a cop.
