Shaquille Barrow was 20 when he died on March 2, 2015, in Joliet after an encounter with police. Officers were investigating a reported theft on the 100-block of Mississippi Avenue and, based on a victim’s description, located Barrow and another man, Shawn Miller, on Richards Street near 1st Avenue. Barrow fled and officers gave chase; police say he pulled out a handgun during the foot pursuit and an officer fired, striking Barrow twice. He was taken to St. Joseph Hospital, underwent surgery, and died of his injuries.

Police recovered a loaded .357 magnum at the scene. The officer involved was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. An arrest warrant was issued for Shawn Miller for obstructing justice, Class A theft, and assault. Barrow’s mother, Loleta Barrow-Hines, later sued Officer Dennis Carroll and the City of Joliet, alleging Barrow posed no threat and was shot while running away, but Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow found the officer’s use of deadly force justified.

Are there witnesses or documents that could clarify what happened during the chase?
