Plaintiff:
Joshua Madison, Sr.
Incident date:
11/02/2010
Location:
2400 W. 59th St.
Allegations:
Madison and Rogers were leaving the parking lot of a fast food restaurant in an area that was under surveillance for narcotics transactions. Officer Gallas pulled up next to them and ordered Madison to stop the car. Officers Campbell and Martis got out of an unmarked police car and told Madison and Rogers to get out of their car. Madison, who was a victim of two previous shootings, was afraid of being shot again and backed up the car in an attempt to escape. Martis tried to open the door on the driver's side while Campbell ran up to the passenger window and pointed his gun at Madison and Rogers. Madison tried to drive away, but Campbell, who had one arm in the car and another arm resting on the window, began shooting into the car as it drove out of the parking lot and hit another vehicle near 59th Street and Western Avenue. Campbell continued shooting, firing a total of 12 shots and hitting Madison, who later died at a hospital. No drugs were found in the car or evidence of a crime.
