Family in Chicago Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit After Relative Allegedly Killed by Police
Michael Craig was a domestic violence victim who called the police for help – but when officers arrived, they took his life instead.
It has been almost a year since Craig was shot and killed in his Auburn Gresham neighborhood home. CBS 2 Investigator Megan Hickey spoke exclusively to Craig’s family – who told her a wrongful death lawsuit filed Monday was their last resort.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court. Craig’s family is also still calling for criminal charges against the officer who fired the shots, and asking for a dialogue with the city.
