‘Drop The Gun!’: Graphic Bodycam Video Shows Officers Frantically Trying Save Anthony Alvarez After Shooting Him

Body camera footage released Wednesday shows a Chicago police officer fatally shooting 22-year-old Anthony Alvarez, who was allegedly armed while running from cops.

The Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) of Chicago released police body-camera videos, third-party surveillance videos, and audio documentation of the March 31 shooting, according to Fox News.

Officers “attempted to stop and speak” with Alvarez, according to a statement from COPA on the release of the footage. Alvarez, the father of a 2-year old, was noted as being “an individual familiar to the officers.”
