Plaintiff:
Antonio Cross
Incident date:
03/21/2012
Location:
3100 W. 15th Pl.
Allegations:
Cross was walking with Rekia Boyd and several other people in an alley when Detective Servin, who was off duty, pulled alongside them in his vehicle. Servin told the group he was a police officer, pulled out his gun and then fired several shots in Cross' direction without justification. One bullet hit Cross' hand and another hit Boyd in the head, killing her. Servin filed false police reports in order to file criminal charges against Cross, who was unarmed. These charges were later dismissed.
