Tragic Shooting Incident in Carol Stream, Chicago
In a heartbreaking turn of events, the sisters of Isaac Goodlow III have filed a federal lawsuit against the Carol Stream Police Department and unidentified officers following the fatal shooting of their brother in his home. The incident, which took place in the Villagebrook Apartments in Carol Stream, has left the community in shock.
Goodlow, 30, was tragically shot and killed by police officers during a domestic violence call in the early hours of February 3. The officers, identified only as John Does 1-6, allegedly opened fire on Goodlow, who was alone and in bed at the time of the incident.
According to the police department’s initial statement on Facebook, the officers were responding to a domestic violence situation and encountered a rapidly evolving and tense situation. However, the sisters’ attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, claims that the shooting was unlawful and unjustified.
Stroth revealed that Goodlow’s girlfriend had already left the home by the time officers arrived, and that Goodlow was not posing a threat at the time of the shooting. The sisters and Stroth have reportedly viewed body camera footage of the incident, which they believe supports their claims of police misconduct.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, seeks unspecified damages for wrongful death and other counts. The Carol Stream Police Department and Chief Donald Cummings have yet to respond to requests for comment on the lawsuit.
This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of police accountability and transparency in communities across the country. As the case unfolds, the community is left grappling with the loss of a beloved member and seeking justice for the senseless loss of life.
