Chicago's new mayor compares cop's murder with death of armed teen shot by police

Newly elected Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson compared the recent murder of a city police officer to the death of an armed teen killed by police during a foot pursuit in 2021.

He was referencing 24-year-old Chicago police officer Areanah Preston, who was tragically shot to death outside her South Side home on May 6 after returning from a night shift, and 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was shot by a police officer while armed during a foot pursuit in March 2021.

The shooting of Toldeo was captured on police body cam that showed him being chased by the officer, who was heard telling the boy to "stop" and "stop right f------ now." He stopped before turning toward the officer, at which point the cop told him to show his hands. Toledo appeared to have his hands up when he is shot at one time.
