The Chicago cop who shot and killed seventh-grader Adam Toledo had never fired his gun on duty before.
City officials released body-camera footage Thursday showing the nearly six-year police veteran, Officer Eric Stillman, firing a single fatal bullet at the 13-year-old boy during a police chase early March 29.
The video shows Toledo toss a firearm and turn around, slowly showing his hands, before Stillman fires.
Here’s what we know about the officer’s past:
The 34-year-old cop joined the Chicago Police Department in August 2015 and was assigned to patrol the city’s Ogden District, records show.
At the time of last month’s shooting, he was assigned to a beat on the city’s West Side, according to records posted online by Invisible Institute, which publishes police-encounter records.
Stillman is a Marine staff sergeant in the Reserves with the Fourth Marine Division, he says in a video on Facebook announcing a Toys for Tots effort.
He reported being involved in several uses of force while on police duty between 2017 and 2020. He recorded three takedowns, two wristlocks, two open-hand strikes and an “escort hold” for three of the incidents.
He never before recorded firing his service weapon, records show.
The officer has had three complaints filed against him with the city’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability.
Two of those complaints were about searches, one Oct. 11, 2018, and another Oct. 28, 2020, the records show. The first case was listed as “unfounded,” and the second was closed with “no finding.”
A third complaint from another search Nov. 29, 2019, remains pending.
The person involved in that case alleges “that he was illegally stopped and searched during a traffic stop” and that thee officers searched his car without permission.
The record reads: “Complainant noted that accused officers claimed that the stop was due to obstruction of view (complainant had cellphone mount on windshield). He alleges that one of the officers was verbally aggressive and rude. Complainant also alleges that accused officers did not activate [Body-Worn Cameras] until after he asked officers ‘is this being recorded?’, which he alleges was approximately 7 minutes after initial stop.”
Stillman in on administrative leave for 30 days because of the shooting.
