Murder Of Laquan McDonald
On October 20, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old boy, was murdered when he was fatally shot by Chicago Police Department, Chicago Police officer Jason Van Dyke.

This was later disproved after a video of the encounter was released, showing that McDonald was walking away. The video of the shooting was initially withheld from the public for more than a year, which later sparked criticism for the delay.
