An officer's body cam video of a man being shot to death inside his apartment has now been made public by a suburban Chicago police department. For details, we turn to Sydney Sumner with Crime Online. It was after being shot by police on February 3rd in the village of Carroll Stream, around 34 miles west of Chicago, that Isaac Goodloe III was pronounced dead at an area hospital.

The public integrity team in the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office gave their approval for the tape to be made public, this according to Carroll Stream Police. The department stated, quote, We share these videos as part of our commitment to transparency and our intention to give the public a fuller understanding of the events that unfolded that morning. The police department posted on Facebook after the shooting that officers had, quote, encountered a tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving situation, which resulted in officers discharging their weapons at the alleged domestic violence suspect.

Police announced that the 30-year-old Goodloe was shot at the Village Brook apartments around 5.11 in the morning as authorities were called to a domestic violence disturbance. In a video that preceded the body cam footage's release, Carroll Stream Police Chief Donald Cummings stated that when investigators spoke with Goodloe's girlfriend, she reported that the two had engaged in a physical altercation and that she had been hurt. She added that her keys were still inside the apartment. Officers can be seen in the body cam video approaching the apartment door from a hallway after obtaining a key from the housing management.

They moved toward a closed bedroom door after announcing they were cops and began filing inside. Video shot from the body cam of an officer behind the lead officer shows the bedroom door being kicked in and then what sounds like two gunshots. Chief Cummings said that two out of the six police present fired a single shot while one officer used a taser. Cummings reported that Good out of the six police present fired a single shot, while one officer used a taser. Cummings reported that Goodloe was shot once in the chest. In a statement released after viewing the footage, Goodloe's family's attorneys claim that the footage depicts, quote, an unarmed black man shot and killed in the sanctity of his own bedroom.

Alleging wrongful death and other counts, Goodloe's sisters filed a federal complaint against the police department and the officers. Unspecified damages are being sought in the lawsuit. In a sports wagering case involving four former or suspended Iowa State athletes, a prosecutor has requested that the judge drop all charges. Once again, Crime Online's Sydney Sumner. Assistant County Attorney Benjamin Machen said in a motion submitted to the Story County District Court that the Division of Criminal Investigation had gone beyond what was allowed in terms of using monitoring software to find open mobile betting apps in ISU sporting facilities. Earlier, the attorneys for suspended wrestler Panero Johnson and former football players Isaiah Lee, Jeriel Brock, and Inyi Uwazuriki filed a move to suppress.

The four are among about two dozen Iowa State and Iowa athletes criminally charged last year. They each faced a felony charge of identity theft and an aggravated misdemeanor charge of tampering with records. Most of the athletes who were charged pleaded guilty to underage gambling, paid fines, and had identity theft charges dropped. Thanks, John.
