Deadly force
Officers Macario Chavez, Mohammed Ali, and Matilde Ocampo fired more than 40 rounds at Calvin Cross when he allegedly fired a Smith and Wesson revolver at them when they chased him on foot. Five bullets hit Cross; the fatal wound struck his the head. Evidence photos show a rusty gun on a sidewalk several hundred feet from Cross' path. His family believes it was planted. The officers claimed they saw muzzle flashes, but state police concluded that the gun couldn't even fire. The city of Chicago settled the case for $2 million. Independent Police Review Authority determined the officers were justified in their actions.
