Body cam footage released this week shows a Chicago police officer yelling “I’ll kill you” seconds before firing six shots into the car of 42‑year‑old Derek Jordan during a March 9 traffic stop‑turned‑pursuit in the city’s Humboldt Park neighborhood, according to investigative records and video reviewed by local media and attorneys for Jordan’s family.
Authorities say the encounter began around 5:30 p.m. on Mar. 9, when officers attempted an investigatory stop of a white Mercedes in the 800 block of North Homan Avenue that police believed was tied to a shooting earlier that day on the Eisenhower Expressway, where no one was injured.
According to Chicago police, the Mercedes fled the unmarked unit, and during the brief pursuit, the car struck a pedestrian in a crosswalk before continuing through the West Side neighborhood. Officials said the pedestrian’s injuries were described as non‑life‑threatening, according to Block Club Chicago.
