Anthony Vazquez/Sun-Times Activists on Thursday gathered at the Little Village alley where 13-year-old Adam Toledo was shot by a Chicago Police Department officer calling on Mayor Lori Lightfoot to end the city’s use of a gunshot detection system that dispatched officers the night Toledo was killed. About 100 people joined a march from an alley near the intersection of West 24th Street and South Sawyer Avenue to the nearby office of Ald. Mike Rodriguez (22nd), whom event organizers targeted along with the mayor because they felt Rodriguez was insufficiently committed to the cause of canceling the ShotSpotter deal. “Every time the city of Chicago and Lori Lightfoot decides . to invest in CPD or invest in technology like ShotSpotter, they are taking away your opportunity; they take away opportunities at full-quality lives,” said Alyx Goodwin of the Action Center on Race and the Economy.
