CHICAGO (AP) – Protest groups were set to return to the streets of Chicago on Wednesday, one day after the city released a squad-car video showing a white police officer fatally shoot a black teenager.
Prosecutors on Tuesday charged Officer Jason Van Dyke with first-degree murder for the 2014 death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, who was shot 16 times.
Several hundred demonstrators marched in and near downtown and outside a Chicago police building on Tuesday night, chanting and at times blocking intersections, but police reported few problems. Other protests are planned, including one Wednesday afternoon at City Hall and another in a downtown shopping area on Friday.
Here’s a look at what’s happened so far and what’s expected next:
