Tragic Shooting Incident in Carol Stream Leads to Federal Lawsuit
In a heartbreaking turn of events, the sisters of a man fatally shot in his home in Carol Stream, a suburb of Chicago, have taken legal action against the officers and department involved. Kyenna McConico and Kennetha Barnes, siblings of Isaac Goodlow III, filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago against the Carol Stream Police Department and officers identified as John Does 1-6, citing wrongful death and other counts. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for the tragic loss of their brother.
Details of the Fatal Shooting
The fatal incident occurred in the early hours of February 3, when officers responded to a domestic violence call at the Villagebrook Apartments in Carol Stream. Isaac Goodlow, 30, was shot and killed by police in his own home, under circumstances that have raised questions and concerns.
Police Account Versus Family’s Claims
According to the police department’s statement on Facebook, officers were faced with a tense and rapidly evolving situation, leading them to discharge their weapons at the alleged domestic violence suspect. However, the sisters’ attorney, Andrew M. Stroth, has a different account of the events. Stroth claims that Goodlow was alone in bed when officers forcefully entered his room without identifying themselves and shot him in the heart.
Uncovering the Truth
Stroth and Goodlow’s sisters have reportedly viewed police body camera footage of the incident, which they describe as an unlawful and unjustified shooting. The family’s legal action aims to shed light on the circumstances surrounding Goodlow’s death and seek justice for their loved one.
Seeking Accountability
The lawsuit against the Carol Stream Police Department and the officers involved underscores the need for accountability and transparency in law enforcement actions. As the legal process unfolds, the family of Isaac Goodlow III continues to mourn his untimely and tragic loss, while striving to ensure that such incidents are thoroughly investigated and addressed.
