A horrifying series of videos shows the attack that left an Illinois State Trooper with serious injuries during a traffic stop in Springfield.
According to ISP officials, Trooper Dakotah Chapman-Green is still recovering from his injuries after he was allegedly shot and beaten by a 37-year-old Chicago man during a traffic stop on Oct. 24.
“By the grace of God, Trooper Chapman-Green survived this brutal attack,” ISP Director Brendan Kelly said in a statement. “Police officers across the state take an oath to protect the lives of Illinois citizens, and all too often that means facing diabolical, hateful, vicious evil that no innocent human being should ever have to face.”
The suspect fled the scene, but was taken into custody a short time later. That suspect was hospitalized after his arrest, and appeared via Zoom at a court hearing Friday. Santana was also wanted in connection with a murder in Chicago. While police have not directly connected him with the crime, the family of Chicago Public Schools special education teacher Adrianna Lopez say that Santana is her ex-boyfriend, and that he had “recently shown signs of violence” against her prior to her shooting death earlier this month.
