Video Shows Cop Who Shot Krystal Rivera Waited Nearly 2 Minutes Before Helping Her

CHICAGO — The city’s police watchdog agency released body-camera and security video Friday shedding new light on the June killing of Officer Krystal Rivera in which she was shot by her police partner in an incident of “friendly fire.”

 

The Police Department has previously described Rivera’s killing as an accident. But the case has been highly controversial because her family has alleged in a lawsuit that Rivera and her partner, Officer Carlos Baker, had a failed romantic relationship, and he shot her during a foot chase with a suspect and then intentionally did not help her.
