More News: City Council members infuriated by $1M settlement
The proposal to settle the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the mother of Sharell Brown infuriated alderpersons who were briefed Friday and will be asked to approve the settlement at the City Council meeting next week.
Ald. Ray Lopez (15th) noted the Civilian Office of Police Accountability did not sustain the family’s allegations about the shooting after concluding Brown was armed and posed a threat to Chicago Police Officers Robert Rhodes and Joseph Lisciandrello, who stopped him the afternoon of May 11, 2019 because Brown “matched the description of an armed robber.”
In a 2021 summary report on the incident, COPA recommended a 180-day suspension for Lisciandrello, who fired the shots that killed Brown, only because of the shooting officer’s “failure to completely record the incident” on his body-worn camera. The officer ended up with a five-day suspension.
