This post was updated on June 17, 2026, to include all relevant video, audio, and Chicago Police Department records in COPA’s possession that are required to be released related to the use of force in this officer-involved shooting and the events immediately following it, and COPA’s Final Summary Report. Court orders entered on August 16, 2021, and August 3, 2023, in the case of People v. Eric Morgan, No. 21110230901 and No. 21CR1153001, and on August 25, 2021 and August 3, 2023 , in the case of People v. Emonte Morgan, No. 21110231501 and No. 21CR1153101, restricting COPA’s release of those materials are no longer in place. All former orders are included in the materials below.
NOTE: The release of all Final Summary Reports is mandated pursuant to the City of Chicago Municipal Code (Section 2-78-145, viewable here) and the Consent Decree in State of Illinois v. City of Chicago (17-cv-6260, paragraph 499, viewable here). As standard practice, COPA attempts to notify the involved individual and/or their representative of its obligation to post the report to its website.
