On July 9, 2021, members of the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force were assigned to locate and apprehend a man with active arrest warrants for sexual assault and escape.

At about 9 a.m., the task force located him near a black Jeep in the area of Kilpatrick Avenue and Monroe Street. They saw him with a firearm and requested help from Chicago police.

Officer Joseph Napoleon, Officer Cameron Mays, and Officer Nicholas Esquivel arrived. The task force told them the man was inside the Jeep, waving what appeared to be a firearm. Officers repeatedly told him to drop the gun and show his hands, but he did not comply.

As Officer Napoleon approached the Jeep with a protective shield, he reported seeing the man point the gun in his direction. Officer Napoleon fired once, shattering the Jeep's rear windshield. He did not tell anyone he had fired, leading the task force and other officers to believe the man had shot at them.

U.S. Marshal Justin McCloud and Officers Napoleon, Mays, and Esquivel then fired their weapons, about 71 rounds total. Officers approached the Jeep, removed the man from the rear seat, and recovered his firearm. They began medical aid, but he had been shot multiple times and was pronounced deceased at 10 a.m.
