Former police officer Jason Van Dyke, who was convicted in 2018 for the killing of Black teenager Laquan McDonald, is set to be released from prison
The officer had continued to shoot the teenager several times after the 17-year-old had crumpled to the ground.
“This is the ultimate illustration that Black lives don't matter as much as other lives,” said the Rev. Marshall Hatch, a prominent minister on the city's West Side. His conviction in 2018 marked an important moment in Chicago's history as the first time in roughly half a century that a member of the police force was found guilty of murder for an on-duty killing.
