警方最初将这一事件描述为“武装冲突”。人体摄像镜头显示，一名警察冲他大喊，让他停下来，举起手并“放下”，然后在这名青少年举起双手后拍下他的胸部。据库克县州检察官办公室称，这名青少年据称在被枪杀前将一把枪扔在围栏后面。

埃里克·斯蒂尔曼在最初的案件事件报告中被认定为芝加哥警察局开枪打死了这名青少年。在调查期间，他被任命为行政职务。
斯蒂尔曼的律师蒂姆·格雷斯在对美国广播公司新闻的一份声明中说，这名官员“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。"
佩雷斯说，亚当·托莱多的母亲伊丽莎白·托莱多希望这名官员对此负责。
“她只是想要正义，”佩雷斯说。“她只是想洗清他的罪名，因为当警察向他开枪时，他确实举手了。”

佩雷斯形容亚当·托莱多是一个“善良”和“有趣”的孩子，喜欢笑。她回忆说，他会和她7岁的女儿凯拉玩洋娃娃，逗凯拉笑。
她说，这名少年和他11岁的哥哥安东尼以及佩雷斯11岁的儿子雅亿·科利科关系非常密切。
佩雷斯说，雅亿写了一封信，他在亚当·托莱多的私人葬礼上读了这封信，这封信和他的棺材一起被埋葬了。雅亿在信中写道，部分原因是:“亚当的生命被缩短了。亚当会做大事的。我希望亚当能和我以及安东尼一起变老。...我们的孩子会是最好的朋友。是的，你可能会离开，但你会永远在我们心中。”

亚当的大哥小马可·托莱多记得这个七年级学生是他所知道的“最有爱心和关怀的小孩”。
在给美国广播公司新闻的一封电子邮件中，22岁的马尔科·托莱多说，他对哥哥最美好的回忆之一是，当他得到第一辆车时，亚当和安东尼总是想帮忙洗车。
亚当·托莱多喜欢在家看电影——他最喜欢的电影是《我是传奇》和《多云有肉丸》，马可·托莱多说。这名少年也是僵尸电影的粉丝。
马尔科·托莱多刚刚在芝加哥郊外买了一栋房子，他期待着让他的小弟弟们在家里过夜。
“作为最大的男孩，我一直希望我的小弟弟和姐姐过得更好，”他说。
他说，他对哥哥的最后记忆是他“非常开心”，一边吃披萨一边跳来跳去。
在正在进行的调查中，马尔科·托莱多为他的弟弟辩护，说他“不像大家说的那样是个坏孩子”
“我们还是小孩子，我们都犯过错误。为什么?因为没有青少年和人类是完美的，”他说。“不管怎样，我们都有自己小时候犯过的缺点和错误，直到今天依然如此。不管人们怎么说，孩子还是孩子，会犯错误，但会从中吸取教训——这是我弟弟没有机会做到的。”
Adam Toledo remembered by family as kind, funny teen in wake of fatal police shooting
Lupita Perez can't bear to watch the body camera footage that shows the final moments of her cousin's life, when 13-year-old Adam Toledo wasshot and killedby a Chicago police officer.
In a phone call with ABC News Saturday, two days after thethe footage was released, Perez, 29, said the teen's family is completely distraught over his death, which has sparked protests in Little Village, where he lived and was killed on March 29.
Officers responding to the neighborhood after reports of gunshots shortly before 3 a.m. that day encountered Adam Toledo and Ruben Roman, 21, police said. Both ran, and the teen was shot following a foot pursuit.
Police initially described the incident as an "armed confrontation." Body camera footage shows an officer yell at him to stop, show his hands and "drop it," then shoot the teen in the chest after he puts both of his hands up. According to the Cook County state's attorney's office, the teen allegedly tossed a gun behind a fence right before he was shot.
In a freeze frame of the footage, it appears Adam may be holding a gun. The shooting took place in less than one second, authorities said.
Eric Stillman has been identified in the original case incident report as the Chicago Police Department officer who fatally shot the teen. He's been put on administrative duty during the investigation.
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."

Perez said Adam Toledo's mother, Elizabeth Toledo, is hoping the officer will be held accountable.
"She just wants justice," Perez said. "She just wants his name to be cleared because he did have his hands up when the cop shot at him."
Perez described Adam Toledo as a "kind" and "funny" kid who loved to laugh. She recalled that he would play with her 7-year-old daughter Kaylah's dolls to make Kaylah laugh.
The teen was extremely close with his 11-year-old brother, Anthony, and Perez's 11-year-old son, Jael Cholico, she said.
Jael wrote a letter that he read at Adam Toledo's private funeral and which was buried with his casket, Perez said. In the letter, Jael wrote, in part: "Adam's life was cut down short. Adam would have done great things. I wish Adam would [have grown] old with me and Anthony. ... Our kids would have been best friends. Yes, you may be gone, but you will be forever in our hearts."
Marco Toledo Jr., Adam's eldest brother, remembered the seventh-grader as the "most loving and caring little kid" he knew.
In an email to ABC News, Marco Toledo, 22, said one of his favorite memories of his brother was that when he got his first car, Adam and Anthony would always want to help wash it.
Adam Toledo loved movie nights at home -- some of his favorites were "I Am Legend" and "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," Marco Toledo said. The teen also was a fan of zombie movies.
Marco Toledo just bought a house outside Chicago and was looking forward to having his little brothers over for sleepovers.
"Being the oldest of the boys, I have always wanted better for my little brothers and my older sister," he said.
He said his last memory of his brother is of him "all happy," jumping around as he ate pizza.
Amid the ongoing investigation, Marco Toledo defended his younger brother, saying that he "wasn't a bad kid like everyone says he was."
"Us being little kids, we all made mistakes. Why? Because no teenager and no human is perfect," he said. "No matter what, we all have our flaws and mistakes we have made as kids and still do till this day. No matter what people say, kids will be kids and will make mistakes, but will learn from them -- something my little brother didn't get the chance to do."
