On Feb. 3, Isaac Goodlow was shot and killed by Carol Stream police officers in his home, a family lawsuit said. On Feb. 3, Isaac Goodlow was shot and killed by Carol Stream police officers in his home, a family lawsuit said. Image from federal lawsuit.
An Illinois family is suing a police department, saying officers fatally shot a man while he was asleep in his bedroom. On Feb. 3, Carol Stream police were called for reports of a domestic violence incident, according to a news release. Officers arrived at Isaac Goodlow’s apartment around 4:15 a.m.
“Officers encountered a tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving situation, which resulted in officers discharging their weapons at the alleged domestic violence suspect. The suspect was struck and sustained critical injuries,” police said.
Now, Goodlow’s two sisters, Kyenna McConico and Kennetha Barnes, are suing the police department, calling the shooting unjustified.
When officers arrived at the apartment over a dispute between Goodlow and his girlfriend, the family lawsuit said Goodlow was inside alone and his girlfriend was outside.
“Isaac’s girlfriend was not inside Isaac’s home, and each and every Village of Carol Stream police officer on scene was perfectly aware the complaining girlfriend was not inside,” the lawsuit said. The family’s legal team said the officers were at the apartment building for 50 minutes without making contact with Goodlow. The officers did not attempt to announce themselves, they did not have an arrest or search warrant, they did not have permission or probable cause to enter and “there were no exigent circumstances warranting entry,” the lawsuit said.
When officers entered Goodlow’s apartment, they opened his bedroom door and shot him, the family said. Two officers shot Goodlow, with one striking him in the heart, according to the lawsuit. Then, as he lay on the ground next to his bed, face down, an officer tased him and he was placed in handcuffs, the lawsuit said.
“My pain ain’t never going to go away. I wake up, I think about it. I go to sleep, I think about it,” Goodlow’s mother, Bonnie Pigram said to village officials at a Feb. 20 meeting, according to WLS-TV. Goodlow was unarmed and posed no threat to officers, the lawsuit said.
“While the Village has not been served with the suit, at such a time that service may occur, we will review the suit in order to determine how best to proceed on behalf of those we serve,” Carol Stream Police Chief Donald Cummings told McClatchy News in an email. The family was allowed to view some of the police body camera footage, police said in a Feb. 9 update.
“We support that this opportunity was provided to Mr. Goodlow’s family because they are entitled to gain an understanding of what transpired that morning,” a Feb. 9 news release said. However, the family is demanding that the footage be made public, WLS-TV reported. “It’s horrific. They lied. What they did was unjustified,” Goodlow’s sister, Kyenna McConico, told the station. Police said the footage will be released once the Public Integrity Team and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office determine it “will not negatively impact the investigation.”
“The Village continues to extend condolences to the Goodlow family for their loss,” Cummings said. “The Village remains eager for the completion of the investigation ... so all parties can gain a fuller understanding of what, exactly, took place.” Carol Stream is about 30 miles west of Chicago.

This is some Bonnie and Clyde bull, this is overkill.
Although I agree, after watching the videos, he fired first, i dunno why.
Cause my question before was did they identify as police?
This tweet answers that, I guess, he didn't want to go back to jail.

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The U.S. Air Force said an airman based at the Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, Florida, was shot and killed Friday during an incident involving a sheriff’s deputy.
Senior Airman Roger Fortson, 23, died at his off-base residence, the U.S. Air Force said in a statement released Monday.
A deputy responding to the call of a disturbance in progress “reacted in self-defense after he encountered a 23-year-old man armed with a gun,” the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release Friday.
Fortson was taken to a hospital where he died, officials said. The deputy involved was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into the incident.

Fortson was assigned to the 4th Special Operations Squadron as a special missions aviator, where one of his roles as a member of the squadron’s AC-130J Ghostrider aircrew was to load the gunship’s 30mm and 105mm cannons during missions.
In a statement late Tuesday, Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investigate the incident and the State Attorney’s Office will conduct an independent review. He said the sheriff’s office was “saddened” by the shooting.
The Air Force’s 1st Special Operations Wing said its priorities are “providing casualty affairs service to the family, supporting the squadron during this tragic time, and ensuring resources are available for all who are impacted.”

Former Newark officer Jovanny Crespo sentenced to 27 years in prison in 2019 shooting death
Former Newark officer Jovanny Crespo had been convicted in the death of a man killed during a police chase.
The Florida deputy who shot U.S. airman Roger Fortson has been fired

The Florida deputy who shot and killed 23-year-old Roger Fortson in his home earlier this month has been fired.
In a news release Friday, the Okaloosa County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department said that Deputy Eddie Duran was fired following the completion of an administrative internal affairs investigation amid Fortson’s death, which concluded that Duran's use of deadly force was not "objectively reasonable" and therefore violated agency policy.
The sheriff’s office said it is “limited in scope” to determine whether Duran violated the agency’s policy.
“This tragic incident should have never occurred,” Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden said in the release. “The objective facts do not support the use of deadly force as an appropriate response to Mr. Fortson’s actions. Mr. Fortson did not commit any crime. By all accounts, he was an exceptional airman and individual.”
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is one of several attorneys representing Fortson's family, said in a statement Friday that while Duran's firing is a "step forward," it is not full justice for Fortson and his family.
"The actions of this deputy were not just negligent, they were criminal," Crump said.
"Just as we did for Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, and Breonna Taylor, we will continue to fight for full justice and accountability for Roger Fortson, as well as every other innocent Black man and woman gunned down by law enforcement in the presumed safety of their own home," he added.
Fortson was shot and killed on May 3 during an incident involving the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office. According to authorities, the sheriff's office sent deputies to Fortson's apartment in response to a disturbance call.
Fortson was alone in his apartment FaceTiming with his girlfriend when the deputy approached his door, according to his family's lawyers.
In body cam footage of the incident, a deputy is seen knocking on the door and announcing himself as law enforcement. Fortson then appears while holding a gun pointed toward the ground. The deputy, who was later identified as Duran, immediately fired shots multiple times. Fortson later died in the hospital.
Aden, following the shooting, said that Duran reacted in self-defense after encountering an "armed man." Duran was later put on paid administrative leave, a standard protocol by the sheriff's department following an investigation and administrative review.
In a recording Crump played during a news conference on May 16, a police dispatch officer is heard saying that the disturbance involved "a male and a female," information he said came via a fourth-party from the front desk of the apartment complex.
"When you make a mistake, you own up to it," Crump told reporters. "You don't try to justify killing a good guy. The Okaloosa Sheriff's Department needs to own up to this. Tell the truth."
In an interview with NPR, Fortson's mother, Chantimekki Fortson, and Brian Barr, another family attorney, questioned the deputy's training as they demanded more transparency around the case.
"He served his family, he served the country, served his friends," Barr said. "And it's just such a tragedy, from all angles that — living this life of service doing what he was told to do — he was killed because he opened the door."
Chantimekki told NPR that her son's death has deeply affected her family in many ways — including, she said, how his nieces and nephews now react to the presence of police.
"When my grandkids see the police, they literally start vomiting," she said. "I've taught them to respect the police because of the chaos that goes on and the fact that they get sick to their stomach, it's crazy."
An investigation led by Florida's Department of Law Enforcement is still ongoing. The state attorney's office will determine if any further action is taken.
NPR's Emma Bowman contributed to this report.
