Two Chicago officers were charged Wednesday in connection to the January beating of a 17-year-old carjacking suspect who allegedly rammed a stolen vehicle into a patrol car and pointed a gun at police.
Neither the Chicago Police Department nor the Cook County State's Attorney’s Office have publicly disclosed details about the officers’ actions, but records indicate both Shafer and Guebara were stripped of their police powers on Jan. 20 and have remained on paid administrative desk duty. While out on patrol, Shafer and Guebara, assigned to the Grand Crossing patrol district at the time, learned about a stolen 2012 Chevrolet before noon on Jan. 10 and tracked the vehicle to 65th and Drexel Avenue, meeting it "front end to front end," according to records obtained by the Tribune from Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) through a public information request.More Related News
