- The murder of Laquan McDonald took place on October 20, 2014, in Chicago, Illinois. McDonald was a 17-year-old who was fatally shot by a Chicago Police Officer, Jason Van Dyke. Police had initially reported that McDonald was behaving erratically while walking down the street, refusing to put down a knife, and that he had lunged at officers. Preliminary internal police reports described the incident similarly, leading to the shooting being judged as justifiable, and Van Dyke not being charged at the time. This was later disproved after a video of the encounter was released, showing that McDonald was walking away. On November 24, 2015, thirteen months after the shooting, a court ordered the police to release a dash cam video of the shooting. It showed that McDonald was walking away from the police when he was shot 16 times by Officer Van Dyke. That same day, Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder, and was initially held without bail at the Cook County Jail. He was released on bail on November 30. The city reached a settlement with McDonald's family for $5 million in April 2015. On October 5, 2018, Van Dyke was found guilty of second-degree murder, as well as 16 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm. Protests followed the murder of McDonald, demanding changes in police and judicial procedure, and for the dismissal or resignation of city and county officials. Rahm Emanuel won a second term in 2015 as Mayor of Chicago (prior to the release of the dash cam video), but Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez lost her bid for reelection in 2016. At the request of Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, the United States Department of Justice initiated a civil rights investigation into McDonald's murder and the activities of the Chicago Police Department. It released its report in January 2017, describing the police as having a culture of "excessive violence", especially against minority suspects, and of having poor training and supervision. DOJ and city officials signed a consent decree for a plan for improvement to be overseen by the courts. Moreover, three Chicago police officers were tried for allegedly attempting to cover up events related to the murder, and were found not guilty by the Cook County Circuit Court on January 17, 2019.

- O assassinato do Laquan Mcdonald ocorreu no dia 20 de outubro de 2014 em Chicago, Illinois, quando McDonald foi baleado 16 vezes em 13 segundos pelo Oficial de Polícia Jason Van Dyke a cerca de 3 m de distância. A polícia foi chamada à cena devido a relatos de que uma pessoa estava carregando uma faca na mão. O vídeo do tiroteio, capturado em uma câmera do painel da viatura da polícia, foi liberado para o público somente no dia 24 de novembro de 2015—mais de 13 meses após o disparo e só depois de vários investigadores independentes exigirem a liberação de registros. Poucas horas depois do vídeo ser liberado, Van Dyke foi acusado de assassinato em primeiro grau. Depois de entregar-se para as autoridades, ele foi inicialmente detido sem direito a fiança em Cook County Jail , mas libertado no dia 30 de novembro após pagar a fiança. Houve vários protestos denunciando a morte de Mcdonald e reivindicações para mudança em vários níveis, à luz do modo como o caso foi tratado, incluindo a demissão do Superintendente da Polícia de Chicago Garry McCarthy e demandas de demissão de outros oficiais da cidade de Chicago.
