Chicago police shooting: Roberto Calvario, Jr. ID'd as man shot, killed by officer on Washtenaw in West Ridge, CPD, ME says
A 20-year-old has been identified as the man shot and killed by a Chicago police officer on the North Side, officials said.
The shooting happened on Tuesday at about 10:25 p.m. in the 5700-block of North Washtenaw Avenue in West Ridge.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office identified the man killed as Roberto Calvario, Jr. of Albany Park.
CPD said tactical officers were investigating a stolen sedan that was parked and unoccupied when a dark-colored sedan with two men and a woman pulled alongside it.
The two men got out of the dark-colored sedan and attempted to enter the stolen sedan, which appeared to be a white BMW, when officers approached, police said.
One man fled on foot while Calvario allegedly got back into a sedan, police said. After directing him to get out of the vehicle, police said Calvario refused and there was a struggle.
During the struggle, police said Calvario accelerated the car, dragging the officer. The officer fired their gun and struck Calvario in the head while the vehicle crashed into an unoccupied parked car, police said.
Calvario was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center, where he died.
