<p>Video of a law enforcement officer’s shooting<b> </b>of a Markham<b> </b>teenager<b> </b>June 9 in Country Club Hills appears to contradict the account given to a federal judge<b> </b>last week in a sworn affidavit from an FBI special agent.</p><p>U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri<b> </b>Holleb<b> </b>Hotaling<b> </b>ordered the video’s public release Thursday after its discovery prompted federal prosecutors to <a class="Link" href="https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/06/18/boutros-holleb-hotaling-atf-country-club-hills" target="_blank" >drop charges related to an attempted robbery</a> during an undercover operation<b> </b>in the south suburb.</p><p>The judge entered her order over objections from federal prosecutors and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, who told her the shooting<b> </b>is being investigated by the Illinois State Police<b> </b>in conjunction with Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen<b> </b>O’Neill<b> </b>Burke’s office, as well as by Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability.</p><p>The video depicts the shooting of<b> </b>Demond<b> </b>Edwards, 18. An FBI special agent swore<b> </b>in an affidavit last week<b> </b>that, according to the law enforcement officer who shot Edwards, “Edwards struck the law enforcement officer multiple times about his face and body with his fists.”</p><p>But no punches appear to be thrown in the video.
