Martice Milliner, a 27-year-old African American man, was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer on July 9, 2015, in the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood on the South Side. Officers responded about 11:30 p.m. to a report of a man with a gun; the caller described someone wearing a black leather Blackhawks hat. Officers found a group that included Milliner, who matched the description. Police say Milliner began to walk away, an officer grabbed his collar, and Milliner reached into his waistband and started to pull out a gun; the officer fired. After Milliner fell, he reportedly grabbed the gun again and pointed it at the officer, who fired again. A semi-automatic handgun was recovered and Milliner was pronounced dead at Jackson Park Hospital.

Accounts differ on how many shots were fired: police and the Fraternal Order of Police said two shots, nearby residents reported three to five, and friends of Milliner’s sister said he arrived at the hospital with five gunshot wounds. The Independent Police Review Authority investigated the shooting. The city later agreed to pay $250,000 to Milliner’s family to settle a wrongful-death lawsuit that alleged he was shot without cause while attending a birthday celebration.

If anyone was at the scene or has information about the moments before officers arrived, please share what is known.
