Eugene McSwain Jr., a 26-year-old African American man, died on July 10, 2015, after being shot during a traffic stop on Chicago’s Far South Side. Police said Gang Investigations officers pulled the vehicle because someone inside was a wanted suspect; officers reported that McSwain produced a handgun and pointed it at them, and that one officer shot him in the head. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead. An autopsy confirmed a gunshot wound to the head and the death was ruled a homicide.

McSwain’s family filed a wrongful death suit against the Chicago Police Department and the city, alleging he was unarmed and that officers covered up what happened. Reports note there were no cameras at the scene and that officers’ reports were identical, each saying they were in fear of great bodily harm and death. The Independent Police Review Authority opened an investigation. Does anyone have information about the stop, the vehicle, or what was seen that night?
