Family ties possible between victims of two Illinois police shootings
MACOMB, Illinois — New police body camera video released this week shows a four-year-old boy being shot to death by western Illinois police.
The video is coming out a little more than a week after the release of body camera footage showing Sonya Massey’s death in central Illinois.
Terrell Miller, 4, was shot and killed by Macomb police in March– about 84 miles away from where Massey was killed.
Macomb police responded to a domestic violence report on Saturday, March 16.
Officers broke into the apartment after hearing screams from inside the room.
Police said they saw a woman with stab wounds and a man holding two knives. The man has been identified as Anthony George, 57.
George briefly goes out of view in the body cam video but comes back with Miller in his arms.
George was shown putting a knife up to Miller’s throat, and that’s when one of the officers fired the shot killing both George and Miller.
Protesters in Illinois continue to call for justice for Miller. His mother said she was devastated that no charges are being filed.
Prosecutors said the officers involved in the shooting won’t be charged with a crime after a review by a special prosecutor found no basis for criminal charges. They said Miller was being used as a human shield.
Iowa’s News Now was told that Massey and Miller were either cousins or shared kinship in some way following last week’s vigil in Cedar Rapids.
We’re working to confirm the familial tie with both families.
