On Tuesday night, Chicago police shot and killed 20-year-old Roberto Calvario, Jr. of Albany Park. Today, the family is calling for a full and fair investigation into the brutal death of their beloved son and brother. Read the full press release below.

“Mayor Johnson campaigned on a promise of police transparency and accountability,” says attorney for the family David B. Owens. “Today, we call on him to live up to that promise and provide this family with the answers they need about this horrific and unnecessary shooting. Conduct a fair and full investigation, respect the equal dignity of all involved, release any bodycam videos or other footage, and explain—if such a thing can possibly be explained—how an investigation into an alleged property crime justified the violent death of this young man.”

The family of Roberto Calvario, Jr., killed by Chicago police on Dec. 9, calls for an immediate investigation into his death.

Today, plaintiffs in CHC v. Noem, our lawsuit over excessive use of force against press and protesters by federal troops under Operation Midway Blitz, voluntarily dropped the case, as the operation seems to be over and Bovino and Co. have left the region.

“We won our case the day they left town,” said attorney David B. Owens of Loevy + Loevy and the University of Washington School of Law. “The people of Chicago stood up to the Trump administration’s bullying and intimidation, and showed them they were messing with the wrong city.”

Plaintiffs in CHC v. Noem voluntarily dismissed their case, as DHS forces have already left the region. "We'll take the win."
