How they died
Deadly force
Chad Robertson, 25, and his travel companions were waiting out an hour-long layover in Chicago's Union Station when Amtrak Officer LaRoyce Tankson and another officer approached them. Reportedly, the trio walked outside to find a restaurant, they were followed by the transit police who accused them of smoking marijuana, and Robertson fled. Tankson shot Robertson in the back as he ran. Robertson died days later.
