Officer Joseph Cabrera faces charges of aggravated assault and making a false statement in connection with the Oct. 13 2020, shooting which occurred near 5200 S. Monitor Ave. in Garfield Ridge.
The city should pay $400,000 to a man who was shot at by a drunken off-duty police officer who has been charged with aggravated assault, city lawyers recommended.The proposal is set to be considered by the Chicago City Council’s Finance Committee at 10 a.m. Monday. If approved by the City Council as expected Wednesday, it would be the latest massive payment approved by Chicago officials to resolve lawsuits alleging police misconduct.
Morales punched Cabrera in self-defense, which prompted Cabrera to pull out his service weapon and shoot at Morales from about 5 feet away, missing him, according to Morales’ lawsuit. Those police officers detained Morales, searched him and handcuffed him, according to the lawsuit, which also claims that a supervisor at the scene directed officers to turn off their body-worn cameras during the investigation. Morales was held overnight at a nearby police station before being released without charges.
