Independent Police Review Authority sued by Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter is suing IPRA, the agency responsible for investigating police shootings, in order to access records of its investigation into Rekia Boyd’s death. Boyd was fatally shot in 2012 by off-duty Chicago Police Department detective Dante Servin. He was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter charges in April 2015 after the judge in the case said he should have been charged with murder. [WGN]
