Police Officers Won't Be Charged with a Crime in Dexter Reed Shooting Death
Prosecutors cited clear evidence that Dexter Reed fired first with an illegal gun during a traffic stop where officers fired nearly 100 shots, resulting in no criminal charges.
- In a news conference, Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke announced that officers who fired nearly 100 shots during the 2024 Humboldt Park traffic stop will not face criminal charges.
- On March 21, 2024, officers in plainclothes surrounded Reed’s SUV at the 3800 block of West Ferdinand Street, citing a seat belt violation, later denied by city attorneys.
- With nearly 100 shots fired, officers returned fire with 96 shots in 41 seconds, including 50 from one officer, striking Reed 13 times.
- In the wake of the announcement, Andrew Stroth, attorney for Reed’s family, said, ‘We will continue to fight for justice,’ as COPA’s investigation and potential discipline proceed.
- Amid broader calls for reform, the case links police tactics to the 2014 Laquan McDonald shooting and court-supervised reforms, despite officers not facing charges.
