A 33-year-old man was shot and killed Friday morning after displaying a gun when he was approached by law enforcement officers in the East Garfield Park neighborhood on Chicago’s West Side, authorities said.
The shooting took place in the 100 block of South Kilpatrick Avenue. At 9:40 a.m., fugitive task force officers, including U.S. marshals and Cook County sheriff’s deputies, approached the man, who was wanted on two warrants: aggravated sexual assault with a firearm and escape from electronic monitoring, Chicago police Superintendent David Brown said at a news conference at the Area 4 Headquarters.
As the task force officers approached the man, who was in a vehicle by himself, he refused to exit, Brown said. The task force officers then called a police emergency, and Chicago police officers from the Harrison District and the community safety team responded to the scene to assist.
The man then took out a gun, Brown said, based on preliminary information.
Police spokesman Tom Ahern said a gun was recovered at the scene, but it’s still under investigation if the man fired shots.
Three Chicago police officers and one U.S. marshal fired their weapons at the man, Brown said.
The man was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center in “grave condition” and later died, Ahern said.
No officers were hit by gunfire, Brown said. Three Chicago police officers and one U.S. marshal were taken to hospitals for evaluation.
The Chicago police officers involved will be placed on a routine 30 days of administrative duties, Brown said.
Cook County First Deputy Chief Terrence Tabb said seven deputies were at the scene with the task force but none fired their weapons.
The man’s warrant was issued on Dec. 4, 2020, for violation of bond, Brown said. That indictment was for 15 felony counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault.
Brown said he believes the man lived on the block where the incident occurred.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability said it was responding to the shooting and was asking anyone with information to call its office at 312-746-3609 or visit http://www.chicagocopa.org.
A 40-year-old woman stood on Kilpatrick Avenue looking at the scene behind a line of reporters pointing their cameras at officers walking around a block up.
Behind her on Madison Street, Chicago police officers lined both sides and the the median of the busy West Side street. U.S. marshals and Chicago police officers stood talking at the intersection.
The woman, who declined to give her name out of safety concerns, said she lived nearby but was out when she got a phone call from her sister about a shooting near her home.
Check on your kids, the sister told her.
Her oldest, who’s 30, was with her, so her first thought was to her youngest son, who’s 22.
Once she heard from him that he was at home then she had “peace of mind,” she said. " ... One with me and one in the house. ... That’s definitely a routine when you hear about a shooting.”
When she came home, she walked out to the scene to see what was happening.
”It’s a hot area, at least when I first moved here,” she said, adding that she moved to the neighborhood about three years ago. “It has calmed down a lot. ... But this, I’ve never seen this happen in this spot right here, but shots fired, you hear that.”
