CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (9 JULY 2021) Read the full article Suspect who escaped electronic monitoring killed in standoff with Chicago police, federal marshals and sheriff’s deputies
Klevontaye White, 34, escaped electronic monitoring & was then shot and killed by Chicago police, federal marshals and sheriff’s deputies Friday July 9, 2021. White had violated his electronic home monitoring by cutting off the bracelet. Law enforcement agencies including the sheriff’s office had searched for White since he went missing on Dec. 2, 2020. A warrant for White’s arrest was filed Dec. 4.
Although a handgun was recovered at the scene, police said it was unclear if White had fired at the officers.
He was in a Jeep when he was confronted by federal marshals and Cook County sheriff’s deputies around 9:40 a.m. in the 100 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue, in West Garfield Park.
They approached the Jeep and ordered White out but he refused, Brown said. They then called for help from Chicago police. As the confrontation unfolded, a sheriff’s officer radioed there was a man with a gun inside a Jeep.
Law enforcement claims that White displayed a gun and three police officers and a marshal opened fire.
An autopsy released Saturday found he died of multiple gunshot wounds. No police officers were shot.
Fuck the police.
