According to State Attorney Kimberly Foxx, the footage showed was in direct contradiction to what officers Christopher Liakopoulos and Ruben Reynoso later claimed: that they had been shot at first.
After they stopped to check out the scene, Medina—as well as a minor, who was holding onto a gun inside a satchel—walked towards the cops’ vehicle.
“The Defendants and the juvenile were not struck by gunfire,” said court documents filed by prosecutors on Friday. Later, the document says, officers told investigators “they did not know who shot first but indicated that the juvenile pointed the gun at them before any shots were fired.” In 2014, the city erupted in protest over the brutal killing of a Black teenager named Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times by officers as he was walking away from police. Later, multiple officers were implicated in covering up the shooting; one officer was convicted on murder charges.
