Plans are moving forward to found Adamâs Place in rural southwestern Wisconsin, a youth home for teen boys named in honor of the 13-year-old who was shot and killed by police in Chicago.
Officer Eric Stillman shot and killed Adam Toledo in a foot pursuit on March 29 this year, a split second after video shows he had dropped a gun and raised his hands. Adam was with Ruben Roman, 21, who is facing charges after prosecutors say he fired the gun that brought police to the spot in the first place.
Using technology that tracked gunshots in the area, police arrived less than a minute later and chased both individuals, arresting Roman first as another officer continued to run after Adam. The incident sparked a new foot-pursuit policy at the Chicago Police Department.
