开枪,引发警方反应
3月29日凌晨3点前,警方表示,该部门的猎枪技术可以识别并提醒官员潜在的枪声,检测到该市西区发生了多起枪击事件。至少有两个911电话与枪击事件有关。托莱多生活和被杀的小村庄是一个以拉丁裔为主的社区。

据检察官在罗曼的保释听证会上说,附近的监控视频显示,21岁的鲁本·罗曼在托莱多的陪同下向一辆路过的车辆开枪。据说罗曼和托莱多躲进了一条小巷,不久后警察在那里找到了他们。
据官员称,两人都跑了。在镜头中,斯蒂尔曼将罗曼摔倒在地,然后,当另一名警察逮捕他时,他又回来追托莱多。
根据助理州检察官詹姆斯·墨菲的说法,罗曼戴的手套检测出枪伤残留物呈阳性。他说,警察找到的7个弹壳与罗曼之前使用的手枪相匹配,他说托莱多后来似乎携带了这7个弹壳。
墨菲说,罗曼现在面临重罪指控,罪名是鲁莽开枪和重罪人非法使用武器,以及危害儿童和违反缓刑。

“让我看看你的小手,”
警察部门发布了一个视频序列,显示了追捕的特写视频和定格画面,其中托莱多似乎有一把枪。
视频上可以听到斯蒂尔曼大喊:“警察!停下。马上停止射击。”托莱多在栅栏的一个缺口处停下来。

斯蒂尔曼喊道,“手——让我看看你的手。”官员称,托莱多随后将一把看起来像是枪的东西扔进了栅栏后。当警官喊道,“放下它!”托莱多举起双手。根据检察官的说法,在不到一秒钟的时间里,托莱多据称将枪扔到围栏后面,然后被警察开枪打死。
最初的报道称托莱多被枪击时手里有枪,但库克县的州检察官办公室称这些说法是错误的。
托莱多跪在地上,躺在视频上。
现场宣布死亡
在镜头中,可以听到斯蒂尔曼报告说,警察开枪了,他叫了一辆救护车到现场。他试图让托莱多苏醒过来,告诉他“和他在一起”,但这名少年没有反应。斯蒂尔曼说,他一度感觉不到心跳,并在托莱多进行心肺复苏术。
斯蒂尔曼的律师蒂姆·格雷斯(Tim Grace)在对美国广播公司(ABC News)的一份声明中表示,“该官员面临着威胁生命和致命的武力局面。此前所有试图削弱和遵守所有官员合法命令的努力都失败了。"

官员称,枪击发生时,托莱多身上没有身份证明。他被多次按了指纹,但什么也没查到。失踪人员报告也得到了核实。
据检察官称,罗曼在被问及托莱多的身份时给出了一个假名,并否认认识托莱多或开枪射击。
3月31日,侦探联系了托莱多的母亲伊丽莎白,告诉她她的儿子符合太平间里某个人的描述。那天她认出了她的儿子。在一份声明中,这家人对官员在打电话给这家人之前等了两天表示愤怒。
亚当·托莱多是谁?
亚当·托莱多是加里小学的七年级学生,他的家人在一份声明中说。
“[他]喜欢运动,是个好孩子。他不应该这样死去,”声明说。"托莱多家族将为这一应受谴责的罪行寻求正义。"
在另一份声明中,托莱多一家谈到了对亚当的“有害和错误的”错误描述,“亚当是一个孤独的街头儿童,没有人可以求助”。这根本不是真的。亚当是一个受喜爱和支持的13岁男孩。他和母亲、90岁的祖父以及两个兄弟姐妹住在一起。他的父亲在他的生命中。他们都很爱他。托莱多家族是一个紧密团结的家族。他们互相照顾。”

What we know about the fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo
Thefatal police shootingof 13-year-old Adam Toledo was captured on newly released body camera footage, along with witness and surveillance video.
Chicago Police Officer Eric Stillman has been identified in the original case incident report as the officer who fatally shot the teen on March 29 in the Little Village neighborhood. Toledo's death sparked protests among the community which is demanding change from the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
Lightfoot called the footage "excruciating" and "difficult to watch" in a press conference.
Here's what's known so far about the deadly shooting of Adam Toledo:
Shots fired, triggering police response
Just before 3 a.m. on March 29, police say the department's ShotSpotter technology, which can identify and alert officials of potential gunshots, detected a number of gunshots fired on the city's West Side. At least two 911 calls were also made in connection with the gunfire. Little Village, where Toledo lived and was killed, is a predominantly Latino community.
Nearby surveillance video shows 21-year-old Ruben Roman shooting at a passing vehicle with Toledo by his side, according to prosecutors in a bond hearing for Roman. Roman and Toledo then are said to have ducked into an alley, where officers found them shortly after.
Both ran, according to officials. In the footage, Stillman tackles Roman to the ground, then, while another officer arrests him, gets back up to chase Toledo.
Gloves worn by Roman tested positive for gunshot residue, according to Assistant State's Attorney James Murphy. He said seven shell casings recovered by officers matched the handgun Roman is previously seen using and that he says Toledo later appears to be carrying.
Roman now faces felony charges of reckless discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, as well as child endangerment and violating probation, according to Murphy.
'Show me your f---ing hands!'
The police department released a video sequence that shows close-up video and freeze frames of the chase, in which Toledo appears to have a gun.
Stillman can be heard on video yelling, "Police! Stop. Stop right f---ing now." Toledo then stops at a break in the fence.
Stillman yells, "Hands -- show me your f---ing hands." Toledo then drops what seems to be a gun behind a fence, according to officials. As the officer yells, "Drop it!" Toledo put both of his hands up. In less than one second according to the prosecutors' account, Toledo allegedly tosses the gun behind the fence, and is shot by the officer.
Initial reports claimed that Toledo had a gun in his hands when he was shot, but the Cook County state's attorney's office said those claims are false.
Toledo then falls to his knees and lays on the ground, on the video.
Pronounced dead at the scene
In the footage, Stillman can be heard reporting that shots were fired by police and he called an ambulance to the scene. He made attempts to revive Toledo, telling him to "stay with him," but the teen was unresponsive. At one point, Stillman says he didn't feel a heartbeat and performs CPR on Toledo.
In a statement to ABC News, Stillman's attorney Tim Grace said "the officer was faced with a life-threatening and deadly force situation. All prior attempts to deescalate and gain compliance with all of the officers' lawful orders had failed."
Toledo did not have identification on him at the time of the shooting, according to officials. He was fingerprinted multiple times, but nothing came up. Missing persons reports were also checked.
Roman gave a fake name when questioned about Toledo's identity and denied knowing Toledo or firing any shots, according to prosecutors.
On March 31, detectives contacted Toledo's mother, Elizabeth, to tell her that her son matched the description of someone in the morgue. She identified her son that day. In a statement, the family expressed anger that officials waited two days before calling the family.
Who was Adam Toledo?
Adam Toledo was a seventh grader at Gary Elementary School, his family said in a statement.
"[He] enjoyed sports and was a good kid. He did not deserve to die the way he did," the statement said. "The Toledo Family will seek justice for this reprehensible crime."
In another statement, the Toledo family addressed "hurtful and false" mischaracterizations of Adam "as a lonely child of the street who had no one to turn to. This is simply not true. Adam was a loved and supported 13-year-old boy. He lived with his mother, his 90-year-old grandfather, and two of his siblings. His father was in his life. They all loved him very much. The Toledo family is a close-knit family. They look after each other."
