The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released its summary report Wednesday that details its investigation’s findings and recommendations of the 2021 fatal Chicago police officer shooting of Anthony Alvarez.
COPA found that Solano and his partner, Officer Sammy Encarnacion, had both failed to timely activate their body worn cameras, failed to fully load their firearm in violation of department policy, and that Solano’s use of deadly force was not objectively reasonable because Alvarez did not pose an imminent threat, according to the report.
In video from Solano’s body worn camera and a front-door camera, Alvarez did change his direction slightly just before being shot but the firearm was not pointed or moving toward Solano, the report said. Veronica Alvarez, center, the mother of 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez, is comforted by supporters after watching video of her son's fatal shooting as people gathered outside the headquarters of the Civilian Office of Police Accountability on April 27, 2021.
