US EditionCOPA Releases Bodycam Video of Shooting that Killed Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera
Autopsy records show the bullet entered near her left armpit and passed through both lungs as two men face pending charges.
- On Friday, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability released bodycam video of Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera's fatal shooting by her partner, Officer Carlos Baker, on June 5, 2025, during a foot pursuit in Chatham.
- The footage shows Baker and Rivera chasing a suspect into an apartment building where they encountered an armed man; Baker, claiming he was in a "fatal funnel," fired a shot that struck and killed Rivera.
- A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Rivera's family alleges Baker, who had more than a dozen misconduct complaints, was unfit for the tactical team; attorneys claim he failed to render aid after the shooting.
- Baker, stripped of police powers in August, remains employed in an administrative role, while Fraternal Order of Police president John Catanzara defended his conduct, claiming he reacted better than "90%" of officers would.
- After an appeals court overturned a ruling that previously barred their release, the videos became public last month; Rivera's death marked the first fatal officer-on-officer shooting in Chicago in nearly 40 years.
