Hombre al que le disparó fatalmente la Policía de Chicago ‘no representaba una amenaza’, dicen abogados

Un oficial del Departamento de Policía de Chicago disparó fatalmente a un hombre de 20 años sin que representara amenaza para él, según los abogados de la familia del joven. El incidente ocurrió el pasado mes en el vecindario de West Ridge.

Según los videos de la cámara corporal difundidos, dos oficiales respondieron a una llamada sobre un vehículo robado y se encontraron con Roberto Calvario Jr., quien forcejeó con uno de ellos mientras estaba sentado en el asiento del conductor de un sedán oscuro. El video muestra que Calvario fue impactado por un solo disparo, mientras que el oficial fue arrastrado brevemente por el sedán cuando este se estrelló contra un auto estacionado.

Los abogados de la familia de Calvario dijeron que planean presentar una demanda argumentando que el video contradice la afirmación inicial del Departamento de Policía de Chicago de que el oficial disparó después de ser arrastrado. Según ellos, el auto sólo se movió después de que Calvario fue herido.

"La policía no está autorizada a ejecutar sumariamente a las personas en nuestras calles", dijo el abogado David B. Owens. "Esto fue un disparo atroz, innecesario e ilegal por parte de un oficial del CPD".

El video también muestra que la ambulancia tardó 10 minutos en llegar a la escena, donde Calvario estaba respirando pero sin responder. La familia de Calvario vio el video con horror.

La madre de Calvario, Awilda Ramírez, dijo que el oficial "no tenía por qué matar a mi hijo". "Quiero preguntarle a ese hombre por qué", comentó Ramírez. "Quiero preguntarle a ese hombre por qué. Quiero saber por qué le disparó a mi muchacho por nada".

El Departamento de Policía no respondió a una solicitud de comentarios.
 
🤕 This is so sad 😔, 20 years old and his life is over because of a police mistake 💔. I dont think the video shows that the car moved after he was shot, it looks like the car just got pushed by the officer who was dragged out of it 🚗. The fact that the ambulance took 10 minutes to arrive is also very worrying ⏰. The police need to be held accountable for their actions and they need to provide more information about what happened 💡. The family's pain and anger are justified 😤, we should all be outraged by this senseless killing 👊.
 
omg, dis is soooooo sad 💔🚔 i cant believe whats happend to roberto calvario jr... 20 years old and hes just trying to resolve the situation with the cops and then BAM! one shot 🎯😱 and now he's gone :(😭 his family is right to be furious and want justice for him... i hope they can get some answers and maybe even some closure 💔👪
 
Man, I'm tellin' ya... 😔 this is just crazy. 20 years old, shot in the back while trying to stop a stolen car? 🚗 That's not right, fam. The video says it all, two cops show up, one guy's resisting, next thing you know he's dead. 💀 And the family's still tryin' to process everything... 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive? 🤯 that's just unacceptable.

I'm thinkin', what if they're not gettin' the full story from the department? 🤔 What if this was a case of police brutality, like some folks say it is? 🚫 I don't wanna take sides or nothin', but... come on, we gotta have better laws in place to protect our citizens. 💕

It's just sad, man. 😢 A young kid with his whole life ahead of him, and now he's gone. 💔 It's like, what were they thinkin'? 🤷‍♂️ You take a life, you're gonna have to live with it... or worse, your family will never be the same again. 😱
 
I'm really worried about this incident in Chicago... the fact that an unarmed 20-year-old man was shot to death by a police officer without any real threat 🤕. It's just not right, you know? The video footage shows that the officer fired only one shot, and then he got dragged into the car for a second before it crashed into another parked car... it looks like the car wouldn't have moved on its own anyway. And what really gets me is that the ambulance took 10 whole minutes to show up after this happened - can you imagine how long it must've been agonizing for Calvario's family? 😩

I'm thinking about all the times we see these "no-knock" raids or police chases on the news, and how they often seem to be a big hassle... I wonder if sometimes those officers just don't think things through. The lawyers for Calvario's family are right - this whole thing stinks of an unjustifiable shooting that could've been avoided if only someone had taken a deep breath. 🙄
 
🤕 This is just insane, man... 20 years old and they just shoot him for nothing? 🚫 The video evidence is pretty clear, two cops show up to some random robbery call and they're all over this kid in seconds. Then one of them just pulls the trigger without even trying to help him. Unbelievable. 🤯 And can you believe it took 10 minutes for an ambulance to arrive? That's just cruel. 😱 I don't get how a police officer is allowed to just shoot someone without even having to try to subdue them first. It sounds like they just wanted to cover their own behinds or something. The family's lawyers are right, this was a completely unnecessary and illegal shooting. 🚔👮‍♂️
