Lawsuit Re-Filed
This is going to be dragged out in the hope the City settles:
The family of Adam Toledo filed a fresh lawsuit this week against the city of Chicago and the police officer who fatally shot the 13-year-old boy.
The case was filed a month after the family abruptly dropped another lawsuit filed in Cook County court, just days before opening arguments were set to begin. Now, the legal process will begin again in federal court, over five years after Toledo was killed.
In the previous trial prep, the scumbag lawyers threatened to have a hundred witnesses to testify - for something exactly ZERO of them actually witnessed - all in the hope of an offer from the City to go away.
The trouble was the existence of body camera footage, a stop watch, a working ShotSpotter system and the criminal record of "lil' homicide" being part of the official transcripts would severely reduce any sympathy a jury might have.

Adam Toledo was a problematic teen. He had been away from home for weeks, living on the street and the family never gave a damn.
28 USC 1658 "Except as otherwise provided by law, a civil action arising under an Act of Congress enacted after the date of the enactment of this section may not be commenced later than 4 years after the cause of action accrues." Can this BS case survive summary dismissal?
I hope the officer has a counter suit going against the mother due to her lack of control over her pistol toting gang banging son.
The aperture on the camera probably saw more than the officer did. The kid tried to dump the gun by spinning around as opposed to complying. I would have drilled the little bastard too.
Family did not give a shit about the rogue teen , justing grasping at straws for tge ghetto lottery. Give em nothing
Sounds like Judge shopping to me. They didn’t like the Judge assigned? I hope they give it right back to the same Judge.
Brandon wIll waive the Statute of Limitations "in the interest of justice."
Tort Reform NOW!
In this instance, the body cam probably save that officer a lot of grief.
Good thought, but it would be useless
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Reading an article in this mornings Trib, the family and their attorney is attacking the mental stability of the police officer involved and the city and their hiring and training practice. They want this issue tied directly to the shooting and not let the shooting incident stand alone. Nothing like muddying up the issue.
As much as I’m happy the little shithead is dead in the dirt six feet under. I’d rather see this city get fucked and burned even more, for how cops were treated during the covid vaccine strippings. Never forget never forgive. Hopefully a day of reckoning comes to all who participated when they least expect it.
Poor soul, he was just too high strung.
There is no "ghetto lottery" in federal court, so this will fail.
Nothing more than a cash grab by Mama and the lawyers. The kid was truant from school and running the streets at all hours. What did she expect?
How do you get a nickname Lil Homicide ? He killed a 26er and made his bones, The street knows.
Think they switched from state courts to federal court
IMO the police officer who shot him should sue his parents for not controlling their 13 year old criminal son. Personally, I think the officer deserves a medal.
The attorney and family are grasping at straws looking for a payday. Sounds like the attorney is looking into a crystal ball for ideas to continue this scam.
Toledo reminds me of “I ain’t in no gang” Herbie Pulgar.
really? it didn't matter. the "communities" see what they want. he is still being put through the ringer of civil suits and police board firing
This is exactly why PTSD isn't a free out.
So true. That's how it works.
Lil Homicide AKA Justified Homicide
That's where the ghetto lottery actually is. Especially for the lawyers because looser pays the legal fees.
I’m your huckleberry
Shades of Joey Chlopek. A 2-6er shot and killed (justifiably) after running and turning toward an officer. "He wasn't in no gang, he was a good boy!" etc etc. Mama got zero.
Holy Toledo! The little cabrone is still dead.
SCCOP made the right call again...jury/ judge shopping..
A St. Joseph County Superior Court judge has ruled that the controversial South Bend police telephone recordings were obtained illegally and ordered all copies permanently destroyed.The decision, issued on May 28, 2026, concludes a massive bench trial following a 15-year legal and political battle in South Bend, Indiana.Key Details of the RulingLegal Violations: The court ruled that the recordings of the police officers constituted illegal wiretaps. The judge found that they violated both the Indiana Wiretap Act and the Federal Wiretap Act because no officers on the calls gave consent, and no warrant existed to record them.Strict Prohibitions: The ruling permanently suppresses the recordings. The South Bend City Administration and the Common Council are strictly prohibited from using, disclosing, or referencing the tapes in any future investigations or proceedings.
The officers who were forced to dispatch that little shit because his parents didn't do their job ought to sue the crap out of the fambily for whatever they can get. Pain, suffering, loss of reputation, PTSD, etc...
All because baby mama didn't keep her demon spawn inside the damn house in the middle of the night and let him run loose with a gun.
Oh yes there is. And some jagoffs hit it in our case. 9 digit judgement and they will settle it for 8 digits.
You can’t be serious?
Isn't The lawyer representing this family the same lawyer that went to the Vatican with Conehead?
Textbook shooting. Excellent response by excellent PO. Hang in there brother. This nightmare will soon be over for you. From deep behind enemy lines.
