How they died
Deadly force
Patrolmen Daniel Jopek and Martin Rudin stopped a car driven by Stephon Keith Moore, 39, who was drunk, on Lake Shore Boulevard. The officers accused Moore of driving his car at them and putting their lives at risk, so they shot and killed him with a gunshot to the back. The shooting was ruled justified. Moore'™s family, however, said the victim was backing up his car and posed no threat to the officers. They filed a wrongful death lawsuit, and the city agreed to pay $250,000 in damages and attorney's fees.
