CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- The family of a south side man who was shot and killed by police during a domestic call in September is demanding that the officer who fired the shots be fired and prosecuted.
The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released a graphic video of the incident from the officers' body cams. Police responded to a domestic call in an apartment on the 65-hundred block of South Harvard Avenue.
A woman said 28-year-old Turrell Brown hit her in the face and was armed with a knife. Brown can be seen in a doorway with a knife in his hand. The officers back out.
"He was punching me all on my side. He was punching me in my face-everything. He pulled a knife on me too and I'm pressing charges," she told police.
Multiple officers can be heard shouting "Put that knife down," in the video.
Brown was shot by an officer as he slowly moved toward the officers, but family members said the officer didn't have to kill him. They also said he wasn't being threatening and that police could have used a taser instead.
The case remains under investigation.
