On December 9, 2025, two on-duty Chicago police officers were investigating a call about a stolen vehicle near 5700 N. Washtenaw.

Officers saw a dark colored sedan pull alongside the stolen vehicle and saw two individuals trying to enter the stolen vehicle. Both officers approached and ordered them to stop. One fled on foot, while the other tried to get back into the dark colored sedan.

A struggle followed between the officer and the individual trying to enter the sedan. The officer discharged his firearm once while the individual was driving away, striking the individual. The officer was briefly dragged by the vehicle, which then collided with an unoccupied parked vehicle.

The individual who was shot was taken to a hospital and pronounced deceased. The officer was also taken to a hospital in good condition. Two weapons were recovered on scene.
