Authorities in Chicago released police body camera footage on Thursday showing an officer shooting dead a 13-year-old Latino boy, as the Mayor of America’s third-largest city appealed for calm. The footage shows Adam Toledo running from officers in the early hours of March 29 and then being hit with a single shot to the chest as he stops and raises his hands. Prosecutors say he was armed, although no weapon is visible in the video.
