The officer orders him to stop and show his hands.In less than a second, Adam raises his hands as the officer fires. Adam crumples to the ground, and the officer calls for an ambulance and performs CPR.Foxx said that while the officer may have violated CPD’s chase policy, the investigation by the state’s attorney’s office found that criminal charges were not warranted.Foxx also said charges would not be filed in the March 31 shooting of Alvarez on the Northwest Side.
She said her office considered if it should file first- or second-degree murder charges against the officer, but that Officer Evan Solano had reasonably.
