CAROL STREAM (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - The family of a man shot and killed by Carol Stream police this weekend has hired an attorney as a county task force investigates.
The civil rights attorney retained by the family of Isaac Goodlow III. said he was unarmed and unjustifiably shot by police.
Carol Stream Police said two officers shot at the 30-year-old man after responding to a domestic violence call at the Village Brook Apartments early Saturday morning.
Goodlow’s niece spoke with CBS-2.
“All I know is from my uncle, that they said him and the girl was into an altercation. They called the police, and the police had came, and they said that my uncle threw something at the police, and the officer aimed at him,” she said.
The family has scheduled a news conference for this morning at 11 a.m.
Meanwhile, the police department said a DuPage County task force is going over body cameras in their investigation that followed a “tense, uncertain and rapidly evolving situation.”
The two officers involved have been put on leave.
