While authorities have provided minimal details, the victim's family is questioning the necessity of the shooting, claiming Clark was unarmed and hiding in an attic. The incident has left the family devastated and seeking answers from federal officials.
All right, good afternoon, everyone.
This day has been busy, so let's try to make sense of it.
We've got to start with the situation in Dixmoor right now.
Someone is dead after some kind of
altercation with law enforcement there.
Yeah, the FBI says that this all happened
while serving a federal warrant.
Saquon has been out there all morning for us and say
you got a big update for us. What have you learned?
Yeah, well, we're definitely we've
learned the identity of the person
who we understand was shot and killed by an FBI agent
here. I'll step out of the way, though,
because I do want to show you how much this has progressed
all throughout the morning.
We got here close to seven o'clock this morning. This call came
in just shortly before that.
But you can see, I mean, this is still very much a big presence here
of federal authorities. It does seem like Dixmoor police
is pretty much out of this area at this
point. But we are still seeing
the Cook County Sheriff's Office providing that assistance,
like they've said, that they've committed to.
Once again, we heard from Dixmoor's police chief
earlier that they had gotten a call
from the FBI asking if Dixmoor PD would help assist
by setting up a perimeter for the FBI.
So Dixmoor's police chief made it very clear
to me today that that was the only role they
had.
It's unclear really what the role
of the Cook County Sheriff's Office is here in this
investigation in particular,
but we've really just seen them blocking off roads for people
in the area.
So definitely providing assistance in terms
of navigating things like traffic and road
closures in the neighborhood.
Guys, I want to show you this photo we just got
in from a family member.
We actually got this from the older sister,
and this is 22-year-old Chadwick Clark.
We understand he is someone
who family members really described as a good person.
Apparently he would never even get in the way of a ladybug,
someone trying to kill a
fly or a ladybug.
But one thing that was interesting
was the older sister did admit, she even said, I'm
I'm not going to stand here and say that this was an angel child.
But something that she did say was she wished
that she was able to talk to him.
She wished that any family member would have
been allowed to talk to Chadwick when he was
inside.
Family members tell me that Chadwick was hiding in the attic
and that's basically what they're
hearing from the FBI.
And they have some questions about this.
They wanna know how and why they shot
and killed Chadwick when family members at least
are saying that there was no weapon inside.
Now again, we have not heard that from authorities quite yet.
We haven't really heard their perspective
and we haven't heard from them honestly since
that first update when they told us that one person
was dead, which we've now learned was
Chadwick Clark.
Guys, we got a chance to speak with that older sister
who shared that photo with us and she
She was incredibly emotional as she described
the type of brother Chadwick was.
Take a listen.
Because I knew that he was going to make it through this.
I thought he was strong enough to make it through this,
but he wasn't, and it hurts
me so bad.
It hurts me tremendously.
He didn't make it through this.
He made it through so much.
He made it through watching his brother die.
He made it through so much stuff.
through this. He made it through so much.
He made it through watching his brother die.
He made it through so much stuff.
So I never expected this to take him away from me the
way that it has done.
And my heart is completely broken.
So once again, what we've heard from the FBI
and from even Dixmoor's police chief is that
the FBI was executing some sort
of federal search warrant here. We don't really know
We know the details of that,
we've been asking just about every single person possible.
And no one has been able to give us any information
on that arrest warrant in particular.
It sounds like it was actually an arrest warrant,
that's what we're hearing from family members.
One thing that Nia, that older sister,
also told me is Chadwick had just finished serving
a sentence, it sounds like, in prison for two years or so.
And those details are also unclear.
Why he served time in jail,
those details are basically unknown at this point.
But we do know that these family members
are mourning the loss of their loved one.
They were right here watching it unfold.
We know that his mother was out here.
She was the one screaming, they shot my baby.
And so there's a lot of questions
that these family members are still wanting to find out
and they're hoping that they can get those answers soon.
Again, it sounds like the FBI hasn't really
been giving them a lot of information.
But of course they were at the hospital
and they say that right now they're just trying
to get the answers.
