OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
Chicago PD officers with the Priority Response Team tasked with pursuing robberies were on patrol at about 1:58 a.m. when they saw two people in a black Lexus and for unknown reasons believed they were armed and escalated a chase at high speeds that ended when the vehicle crashed and ejected a passenger who died.
Bystanders report that the car had crashed into an abandoned building that partially collapsed and crushed the car. Blood was reportedly seen nearby. The building was demolished the next day. Nearly 2 weeks after the crash, Chicago PD has not acknowledged the building collapse nor identified the deceased person or substantiated what they were accused of causing the fatal pursuit.
