The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) which has the responsibility to review every police shooting involving Chicago Police officers, released body camera, surveillance video, 911 call, citizen cell phone recording of a recent fatal officer-involved shooting near 3800 W. Ferdinand Street on March 21, 2024.

According to the Civilian Office of Police Accountability, the Chicago Police Department Preliminary reports indicate that this incident began on March 21, 2024 near 3800 West Ferdinand Street when five Chicago Police officers assigned to an 11th District tactical unit engaged in a traffic stop of Dexter Reed, Jr. for allegedly not wearing a seatbelt.

Upon stopping Reed, multiple officers surrounded his vehicle while giving verbal commands. When Mr. Reed did not comply with these commands, officers pointed their firearms at Reed and ultimately there was an exchange of gunfire which left Reed dead and an officer shot in the forearm. COPA said, Review of video footage and initial reports appears to confirm that Reed fired first, striking the officer and four officers returned fire.

COPA said, Available preliminary evidence also confirms that officers returned fire approximately 96 times over a period of 41 seconds, including after Reed exited his vehicle and fell to the ground. Mr. Reed was struck by gunfire multiple times and was transported to the hospital and later pronounced deceased. A gun was recovered on the front passenger seat of Reed’s vehicle.

According to public records, Reed was arrested in June 2023 on misdemeanor theft charges, accused of stealing a $950 designer shirt from a Saks Fifth Avenue store on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago. In July, he was arrested again on weapons charges, after police and prosecutors said he brought a loaded gun to the WindY City Smokeout festival, despite not having a concealed carry license or valid FOID card.
