The people of Chicago came together and protested over the killing of 16-year-old Pierre Loury. Loury was yet another black male killed by police.
A eyewitness said,
“They shot him in the air. His pants leg got caught on the fence and he hit the ground. If he hadn’t gotten shot, he would have cleared the fence.”
The woman said she watched the incident through her window and had not seen a gun because it was dark out.
