New Bodycam Footage Revealed in Officer French Shooting
Description
New bodycam footage from the 2021 shooting that killed Chicago Officer Ella French has been released, offering a chilling visual record of the fatal traffic stop that also left Officer Carlos Yanez Jr. paralyzed. Emonte Morgan, who opened fire during the encounter, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to two life terms without parole. The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released the footage in response to a FOIA request, now permissible since legal proceedings have concluded. The incident, which unfolded in August 2021, shocked the city and the department, and this release marks a pivotal moment in the public reckoning with the tragedy.
