Alfontish Cockerham was shot twice in the back and killed by a Chicago police officer on June 20, 2015. Chicago police justified the shooting with a false narrative by stating that Cockerham in a gang and had pointed a gun at police officers during a foot chase. They also claimed that Cockerham was not shot in the back. The Chicago Police Department’s story fell apart under during trial and it was revealed that the officer shot Cockerham without justification.
Following a jury trial that lasted 2 weeks, after a short 2 hours deliberation, a Cook County jury entered a verdict against the City of Chicago and the Chicago Police Department, after highly persuasive and passionate arguments by Attorney Walker in the amount of $1.18 million for the unjustified shooting death of Alfontish Cockerham.
