Cause of Death

Deadly force

Off-duty Robbins PD officer Christopher Lloyd shot his ex-wife's husband, Cornell McKinney during an argument in McKinney's front yard. At about 8 p.m., Chicago police responded to the scene and found McKinney's body on the sidewalk. According to Lloyd, his ex-wife had called him because her husband was being "heavy-handed" with their children and was "waving his pistol around". McKinney allegedly drew a pistol from the back of his pants and pointed it at Lloyd, who opened fire. Lloyd was cleared of wrongdoing under the assumption he'd acted in self-defense. Police said Lloyd shot McKinney four times, but the medical examiner's report stated that McKinney was shot 24 times. While on leave for shooting McKinney, Lloyd was hired by Dolton PD and placed in a high school for students with special needs. In May 2009, Lloyd was recorded beating a student, Marshawn Pitts, 15, for not tucking in his shirt. In October 2009, Lloyd was arrested in Indiana for rape.
