#Video shows cop shoot allegedly armed man fleeing traffic stop in Chicago

An Illinois sheriff’s police officer shot an allegedly armed man who fled a traffic stop in Chicago, video shows.

The Cook County Sheriff’s Office released video of the police-involved shooting Thursday after the man’s family disputed that he was armed at the time, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

The man, identified by the newspaper as Durel Foster, 27, was in good condition at a hospital after being shot in the shoulder and buttocks following a traffic stop in Chicago’s LeClaire Courts section late Wednesday, sheriff officials said.

Footage shows Foster running past a deputy who orders him to stop — coming within just feet of the officer as he reaches into his bag and pulls out what authorities said was a firearm.

“The first officer fired multiple shots, striking the subject in the shoulder and buttock,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Foster, who initially laid down after being shot, then continued to resist arrest, at one point running onto the steps of a nearby residence. officials said. He was ultimately taken into custody when a sheriff’s police officer used a Taser on him.

A silver and black handgun, as well as suspected bags of cocaine, were found near Foster, the sheriff’s office said.

Foster’s father, Maurice Foster, said his daughter first told him of the shooting while at a park with his youngest son. But he insists he still can’t tell whether his son was armed at the time after watching the video, the Sun-Times reports.

“I can’t see real good from the footage,” he told the newspaper. “I can’t see what’s in his hand. I see him toss a bag. It goes by real fast, and it’s blurry also.”

No other injuries were reported, sheriff officials said.

Maurice Foster claimed his son was stopped “because of the way he looked,” while the sheriff’s office said he was stopped after being spotted driving at an excessive rate of speed with no front license plate and illegally tinted windows. He briefly stopped before fleeing on foot, authorities said.

Foster said Thursday he had been unable to speak to his son, who remained in police custody, according to the report.

Sheriff officials said the suspect — whom they did not formally identify — had three prior felony convictions, including aggravated battery on a police officer in 2018. He was later sentenced to four years in prison and had been on parole in Illinois at the time of Wednesday’s incident.

Chicago police are now conducting an independent investigation into the shooting.
