Chicago police board holds disciplinary hearing in Adam Toledo shooting

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Police Board asked for more time before deciding on the future of the police officer who shot and killed a teen.

Officer Eric Stillman is facing disciplinary charges for shooting and killing 13-year-old Adam Toledo during a foot chase in Little Village in 2021.

The charges claim Stillman broke several rules stemming from the shooting and recommend he be discharged.

The shooting prompted protests over police use of force, and calls for the police to halt foot pursuits altogether until the department completely overhauls its foot chase policy.  

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability last fall recommended Stillman be fired. But then-police Supt. David Brown did not agree – recommending that Stillman be suspended for no more than five days.

Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx declined to charge Officer Eric Stillman in Toledo's death.

At Monday's hearing, board members requested more time to gather expert testimony on use of force. The next hearing is set for June 12 at 9 a.m.
