Community organizers were planning to hold a rally Thursday afternoon to demand the firing of the five Chicago police officers involved in the shooting death of Dexter Reed.
On Friday, Police Supt. Larry Snelling said preliminary information could be damaging to the overall investigation.
Supt. Snelling appeared to be at odds with COPA, the agency investigating the killing, which recommended the officers be relieved of their police powers during the investigation.
Reed, 26, was shot and killed by police on March 21, during what police told COPA was a traffic stop made because Reed was not wearing a seat belt.
COPA Chief Administrator Andrea Kersten is questioning some of the officers on the scene that night of March 21.
A COPA news release issued Tuesday indicated that a seatbelt violation was the "purported" reason Reed was pulled over. But a letter issued April 1 expressed that COPA had doubts about this.
Reed's family also is calling on the Chicago Police Department to disband tactical units like the one involved in the traffic stop and shooting.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said video footage "appears to confirm that Mr. Reed fired first," and four officers returned fire approximately 96 times in 41 seconds.
Four other officers involved were also taken to the hospital for observation.
