Chicago Tribune Condemned For Op-Ed On Adam Toledo, 13, Being Shot Dead By Police On 4/8/21 at 5:04 AM EDT The Chicago Tribune has been criticized for publishing an opinion piece which suggests that the facts need to come out about the police shooting of a 13-year-old Black boy before attempting to portray him as a "martyr." Adam Toledo was shot and killed by a Chicago Police officer in the early hours of March 29 after being chased into an alley. According to a police statement, the department's ShotSpotter technology detected multiple shots being fired in the 2300 block of S. Sawyer at around 2:36 a.m.
