CPD told state safety regulators that Ofc. Krystal Rivera had been shot by a suspect when she'd actually been shot by her partner.

The IL Dept. of Labor can, but doesn't, investigate police shootings. No attempt anywhere to correct the record or explain why. No comment from state or CPD. #chicago

After Rivera was killed in June by Officer Carlos Baker, officials told the Illinois Department of Labor she’d been gunned down by a barricaded suspect. The police still haven’t corrected that.

    She looked too hard into the Glock that went missing in the station after the buyback, going through the personal belongings of other cops and cooperating with investigators so they did a Serpico on her.

    @govpritzker.illinois.gov Illinois state police should take over the investigation of Rivera's shooting, the subsequent attack of another police officer, etc. CPD lied in the beginning and aren't offering the family clarity or closure. Firing Baker is not enough.

    The family wants Illinois State Police to take over the investigation as their attorney says CPD’s narrative doesn’t “pass the smell test.”
