Courtney D. Jackson, 43, was shot while driving on Chicago’s Far Northwest side on April 18, 2015. After being struck by gunfire he was able to flag down a police cruiser but later died; questions have been raised about the police response and the timeliness of medical care. A hospital nurse later said Jackson was brought in wearing handcuffs, a detail that has fueled scrutiny of how officers handled the scene.

Jackson’s mother, Shapearl Wells, has pushed for transparency ever since, working with journalist Jamie Kalven and the Invisible Institute and seeking access to surveillance footage while organizing community events in his memory. The Chicago Office of Inspector General recommended disciplinary action for two officers connected to the incident. No suspects have been arrested and the investigation remains unresolved.

Does anyone have information about the shooting or the officers’ actions that night?
