A Cook County judge has acquitted a Chicago police officer who shot and wounded an unarmed man during an arrest at the CTA Red Line’s Grand station in 2020.
Officer Melvina Bogard had argued she was trying to protect herself when she shot Ariel Roman on Feb. 28, 2020, but Roman’s attorney had contended ahead of the trial that the officer’s claim “completely contradicts the clear video evidence.”
Roman was shot in the hip and buttocks shortly after Bogard’s partner, Officer Bernard Butler, yelled “shoot him,” according to prosecutors. Butler was not charged in the incident.Sign up for NBC Chicago newsletters.
