Police fired at least three more shots at 26-year-old Dexter Reid after he was seriously injured and unconscious on the streets of Humboldt Park, a video released by the Office of Police Accountability.
The gravity of the incident was that while Reid got out of the car and was unarmed, the four officers who shot him continued to shoot, three of whom reloaded in 41 seconds of sustained fire.
The claim that Reed was not wearing a seatbelt may not be accurate, as his windows are tinted and it is difficult to see exactly what is going on from the outside of the car.
Video shows a traffic jam in the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street on the evening of March 21, when a team of five tactical officers stopped a white SUV driven by Reed. The police pulled out their weapons and repeatedly ordered him to roll down the window.
The video shows Reid initially complied, but he ignored the order to roll down the passenger's side window, and the gunfire erupted seconds after the police shouted.
A police officer, standing on the side of the car, was shot in the wrist and said Reed fired first.
Over the next 30 seconds, the police fired dozens of more rounds. After Reid was shot, he fell out of the car, and the police continued to shoot him, and finally he lay motionless in the street.
According to the COPA (Office for Police Accountability), four of the five officers, one who fell to the ground with a wrist injury from the beginning, fired a total of 96 rounds during the exchange of fire.
They also said that a gun was found in the front passenger seat of the SUV driven by Reed.
Reed's sister and father called for justice and accountability, and his mother, Nicole Banks, told the media that "I just miss my son," she said with tears in her eyes. "I'm hurt, I'm sick, I feel like I've been shot. My guts are burning. ”
Reed's mother and other relatives
Their lawyer said, "Why would the tactical police draw their guns and open fire for the simple traffic violation of not wearing a seatbelt? ”
His family said, "Dexter played basketball at Westinghouse Prep High School and led the team to a regional championship in 2016. After graduating from high school, Dexter attended Moreton College. He loves basketball very much. ”
