Adam Toledo is the 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed by police in Chicago at the end of March. Toledo had a gun when he ran from police and dropped it behind a fence just before he was shot. However, it was 21-year-old Ruben Roman who had fired the shots into the street that prompted the police response. In fact, it wasn’t a complaint from neighbors but an alert from the city’s ShotSpotter system that resulted in officer Eric Stillman being sent to the scene.
If you’re not familiar with ShotSpotter, it’s a system of microphones which record and triangulate the position of gunfire 24/7. The system then sends an alert to police with an exact location where the gunfire was detected. The idea is to allow police to arrive on the scene of a crime in instances where neighbors never call about the shots, perhaps even to capture the shooter before he gets away or save the life of the victim.
