'These shots were illegal, unnecessary and constitute second degree murder and involuntary manslaughter.' A grand jury in Illinois has indicted a fired Waukegan officer for murder in the 2020 shooting death of Jacksonville man Marcellis Stinnette.
Outside Waukegan police headquarters two days after the shooting, Williams' mother, Tina Johnson, said her hospitalized daughter told her she and Stinnette had not done anything to provoke the shooting, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The family said the site of the shooting was outside Williams' residence and that the couple was just sitting in the car when police arrived. "The time that we spent investigating this matter has not been a period of healing for her and her family and we understand that," Rinehart said, referring to Stinnette's mother."... We have stayed in contact with the family through their attorney, but we respect the frustration that some have had regarding the length of this investigation. But we needed to understand the evidence and expert opinions before we could effectively and fairly bring charges to the grand jury.
"This is a step in the right direction; it's very progressive," she said."I am proud that families who will come after me and be subject to the same kind of this brutality will have more of a voice. Now people are seeing that the badge does not mean that you are above the law."
