A police officer in the suburbs of Chicago who shot a Black couple inside a vehicle, killing a 19-year-old man and wounding his girlfriend, has been fired.
The officer who fatally shot Marcellis Stinnette and wounded Tafara Williams following what authorities have described as a traffic stop late on Tuesday committed “multiple policy and procedure violations”, Waukegan’s police chief, Wayne Walles, said in a brief statement.
No other details, including the officer’s name, were provided.
