Plaintiff:
Jamaal Moore, Sr.
Incident date:
12/15/2012
Location:
5500 S. Ashland Ave.
Allegations:
Officers were in pursuit of a vehicle that was occupied by Jamaal Moore Sr. and others. Their chase took them to a gas station on the corner of 55th Street and Ashland Avenue, where Moore exited the vehicle. As soon as he got out, officers driving a Chicago Police sport-utility vehicle ran him over. Then Officer Castelli shot Moore, who was unarmed, twice in the back. Gwendolyn Moore, Moore's mother, and Jaceta Smith, his sister, heard that Moore was in trouble and raced to the gas station only to find that he was no longer there. Officers laughed and taunted the two women when they asked about Moore's whereabouts, using the term "niggers" repeatedly.
