FIRED Illinois Cop CHARGED With Murder In 2020 Fatal Shooting Of Black Man | Roland Martin

A former suburban Chicago police officer fired after he shot into a car, killing a Black man and seriously wounding the man's girlfriend indicted.

Former Waukegan police Officer Dante Salinas is charged with second-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter related to the October 20, 2020 incident. Salinas also was indicted on felony counts of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm and official misconduct.

Officer James Keating pulled over 19-year-old Marcellis Stinnette and his girlfriend, Tafara Williams. The officer told the couple Stinnette had an outstanding warrant and he was going to be arrested. The couple fed the scene. Officer Keating called for help, and Salinas responded. Salinas located the pair and pulled them over. Salinas fired the shots just 12 seconds after walking up to the vehicle. Stinnette was a passenger and Williams was driving.

Salinas was fired three days after shooting Stinnette for multiple policy violations during the incident, including failing to activate his body-worn camera until after the shooting.

Salinas is also facing charges for using excessive force while arresting a man at a family baptism in 2019.
