Based on preliminary information, the incident began when two officers engaged a group of individuals in the 3800 block of West Flournoy Street. As the officers exited their vehicle, one individual began to walk away. The individual then fled and was pursued on foot by the two officers. The individual fled through a gangway and into a backyard, and then into another gangway with no ability to exit. The individual turned back to exit the gangway, in the direction of the officers, which led to one officer discharging their weapo,n striking the individual, who later succumbed to his injuries. The individual was in possession of a firearm, which was recovered on scene. That controversial policy was put in place after the fatal police shootings of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez, and it prohibits officers from chasing a suspect because of the "mere act of flight alone." The officers who approached Clay’s group were on a "gang de-escalation mission" following a recent fatal shooting, according to Muhammad.
