CAROL STREAM, Ill. -- Carol Stream police have released the bodycam video of last month's shooting that killed Isaac Goodlow. Goodlow was shot and killed by police in the early hours of February 3 in his apartment.
On Friday, Carol Stream police released an edited video of the shooting. A Freedom of Information Act request by WGN News for the video has not been returned at this time.
Goodlow, 30, was shot and killed in an incident that took place just before 5 a.m. Saturday in the 200 block of East St. Charles Road at Carol Stream's Villagebrook Apartments when two officers called to a domestic violence incident discharged their firearms.
According to the Carol Stream Police Department, officers responded to reports of domestic violence at the apartment complex just after 4 a.m. Saturday and found a woman outside. In the video, Carol Stream police shows the body camera of every officer in the apartment.
Footage from the first officer that entered the bedroom where Goodlow was is shown second. It shows the moments after a shot was fired and the officer yelled "Oh fuck!" and "No, no no stop, stop" at other officers. His direction to "stop" was declared after a second gunshot was fired. There are no indications that Goodlow was armed.
The Carol Stream Police Department confirmed that all officers' body cameras were activated during the incident. "The video footage that is being released today represents all of the body worn camera recordings that captured the complete interaction between Mr. Goodlow and Carol Stream police officers that day. The totality of the video, including the events that occurred before and after the shooting, will be released at a later date pursuant to the completion of the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office review. Once the investigation is completed by the Public Integrity Team, the State's Attorney's Office will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all forensic evidence, witness accounts, and officer statements to make a determination regarding the actions of those involved," A statement on the Carol Stream Police Department Facebook page reads in part.
Goodlow was transported to Central DuPage Hospital where he was pronounced dead. The shooting remains under investigation.
His family held a press conference at 5:15 p.m. Friday with their legal representation, civil rights attorney Andrew Stroth. Goodlow's family and social justice activist Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef organized a vigil Friday evening to remember him. ###
