Published April 15, 2021 1:39pm ET



Body camera footage of a Chicago police officer fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy on March 29 is set to be released on Thursday, a police accountability board announced.

Last month’s shooting resulted in the death of Adam Toledo, a teenager who was shot in the chest by police during a foot chase in what authorities described as an armed confrontation. Police said they recovered a handgun from the teenager, while a 21-year-old man who was with him was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest, according to the Associated Press.
