Judge Lawrence Flood ruled Thursday there was probable cause for the officers to fire their weapons.
On the morning of July 22, 2022, the two officers were headed to training at the police academy when they saw a group of masked individuals at 18th and Morgan.
Chicago police said a shootout ensued, but the Cook County State Attorney's Office later determined police fired first.Prosecutors said Medina was walking with an armed teen when they were approached by officers in an unmarked car. In court, Medina testified he thought the unmarked car was a group of gang members, so he put his hands up to show he was unarmed. He held a cell phone and wine bottle in one hand. As the armed teen ran off, officers fired shots out of the patrol car. Medina was struck.
The teen then fired, but no officers were hit. Police stated Medina and the teen fired first, but surveillance footage later contradicted their account of the shooting.
