No criminal charges will be filed against the Chicago police officer who shot and killed Ronald Johnson in October 2014, Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez said Monday.
Alvarez released video from the incident. She said Johnson, 25, was armed with a loaded gun at the time of the shooting.
Johnson's case is receiving renewed attention after a dashboard camera video was made public around Thanksgiving that showed a Chicago police officer shooting 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. McDonald's killing occurred eight days after Johnson's.
