Courtesy On March 29, police in Chicago, Illinois chased 13-year old Adam Toledo down an alley and shot him, killing the unarmed seventh grader as he raised his hands. The recently released body camera footage shows police demanding that the young boy show them his hands. When he does, the cops fired. This murder comes at a time when demanding justice for police-perpetuated killings is at an all-time high, with the murder trial of Derek Chauvin ongoing in Minneapolis, and the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by Officer Kim Porter just days ago. In a press conference on April 2, Toledo's mother, who was not aware her son was killed until two days after the shooting, demanded answers from the Chicago Police Department. "They had a lot of options," she told reporters while visibly emotional, indicating that officers "could have shot him in his legs, his arms…I don't know, but not kill my baby."
