The Murder of Laquan McDonald
On the night of October 20th, 2014 in the heart of Chicago, Illinois the murder of a young black boy named Laquan McDonald, a 17 years old was murdered by a Chicago Police Officer, named Jason Van Dyke.
On November 24th, 2015, thirteen months after the shooting, a court ordered the police department to release a dash cam video of the shooting. It showed that McDonald was walking away from the police officer when he was SHOT 16 times by Officer Van Dyke. That same day, Van Dyke was charged with first degree murder, and was initially held without bail at Cook County jail.
He was later released on bail on November 30th, and the city reached a settlement with the McDonald’s family for $5 Million dollars in April, 2015.
On October 5th, 2018, the world stood still as Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder, and 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. Van Dyke is now serving a sentence of 6 3/4 years in prison. The McDonald family will never see their son again.
The artist recreated the medical examiners report to point out the emphasis of how fragile black life is in America.
The second sheet represents a fictional take on how the artist felt the Police Officers in New York took to hearing the news about the case!
