MURDER CAPITAL CHICAGO - At least two people were killed and at least 16 more were wounded in weekend violence across the city, including an Englewood neighborhood man shot to death at 11:15 a.m. Saturday by police who thought he was armed with a gun.
Angry residents of the neighborhood threw bottles and rocks at officers in protest after Jamaal Moore, 23, was shot to death by an officer who thought he saw Moore reach for a gun as he fought with police, police said.
Moore, who police suspected was involved in an armed robbery of a truck driver and a spate of robberies of trucks as they stopped in traffic on the South Side, was shot by police as he reached for a flashlight while fighting with the officer who was trying to arrest him.
Moore was in an SUV that crashed near Ashland and 55th, while trying to outrun police, according to Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden. Moore fought with an officer while other occupants of the vehicle fled the scene, police said.
The Chicago Police Department’s News Affairs office said in a statement that as the two fought, the officer saw what he thought was a firearm.
