The Fatal Shooting of Isaac Goodlow III by Suburban Chicago Police
On a fateful early morning on February 3, 2024, tragedy struck the home of Isaac Goodlow III in Carol Stream, a suburban area in Chicago. Goodlow, a 30-year-old man, was fatally shot by officers responding to a domestic violence call at around 4:15 a.m.
The Allegations of Wrongful Death
Following the heartbreaking loss of their brother, Goodlow’s sisters, Kyenna McConico and Kennetha Barnes, took legal action by filing a federal lawsuit against the Carol Stream Police Department and the officers involved. The lawsuit, lodged in U.S. District Court in Chicago, alleges wrongful death and other counts, seeking unspecified damages from the department and the officers identified as John Does 1-6.
The Unjustified Shooting
According to Goodlow’s sisters, who viewed the police body camera video of the incident, they described the shooting as “unlawful and unjustified.” The sisters’ attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, revealed that Goodlow was alone and in bed when officers, without properly identifying themselves, forcefully entered his bedroom and shot him directly in the heart.
The Tragic Sequence of Events
Earlier that evening, Goodlow had a dispute with his girlfriend, who had already left the home by the time officers arrived. The police department claimed that the officers discharged their weapons during a tense and rapidly evolving situation with the alleged domestic violence suspect.
A Heartbreaking Loss
As the legal battle unfolds, questions surrounding the events leading to Isaac Goodlow III’s untimely death continue to linger. The grieving sisters and their attorney seek justice and accountability for what they believe was a wrongful and unjust act that took the life of their beloved brother.
