"Thousands March to Protest Police Killing of 13-Year-Old Adam Toledo"
WTTW - Chicago PBS | April 17, 2021
Thousands of protesters gathered in Chicago’s Logan Square neighborhood on April 16, 2021, to protest the police killing of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was fatally shot March 29, 2021, in the Little Village neighborhood, about 6 miles south of the protest.
Police body camera footage released April 15, 2021, appears to show Toledo turning around with his arms raised and hands open before Officer Eric Stillman shot him.
The protest was organized by several community and activist groups, including the Little Village Environmental Justice Organization and Good Kids Mad City. After several speakers spoke at Logan Square Park’s Centennial Monument, thousands marched through the neighborhood peacefully while shutting down traffic and chanting.
