Joshua Jones, a 24-year-old African American man, died of a gunshot wound on June 28, 2021, in Chicago. The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office reported the fatal bullet entered his upper mid-right back and exited through his mid-right chest.

The shooting occurred during an altercation with an off-duty police officer identified as Officer Daniel, who was working as a process server in civilian clothing and displaying his badge.

The Chicago Police Department investigated, reviewing witness statements, forensic evidence, and medical records. The investigation concluded Officer Daniel acted in self-defense, and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office declined to file criminal charges, citing insufficient evidence to pursue charges given the armed robbery and the immediate threat described.

Did anyone witness that encounter or have additional details about the moments leading up to the shooting?
