“We are happy that this individual has been removed from our streets,” his mother Joy Dobbs said in a statement. “But it is also very hard for us to relive that day again.”
The lawsuit comes nine months after Tyshon Brownlee allegedly robbed and shot 24-year-old Dakotah Earley, who was walking in the 1300 block of West Webster Avenue in the early morning hours of May 6.
Dakotah Earley, a former culinary student who was shot during an attempted robbery in Lincoln Park last May, is alleging police could have captured the suspect who was engaged in a “spree” of violent robberies before attacking him, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court Thursday.
Dakotah Earley nearly died and lost part of his leg after a shooting in Lincoln Park that lawyers say could have been prevented by the city of Chicago if it weren't for police pursuit policies in place.
