A community activist who was allowed to see videos from the fatal police shooting of Paul O’Neal before they were made public claimed they show an officer stomping the teen’s lifeless body after he was shot in the back.

Jedidiah Brown said he also heard police telling other officers to turn off their body cameras.

“I saw a police officer approach a lifeless O’Neal, face down to the ground, with three or four other officers over his body, screaming at him to put his hands behind his back, run up, stomp him in his back, and then grab his hands very violently, and put him in handcuffs, clearly lifeless,” he said.

Brown and several other community activists were allowed to watch dashboard camera and police body camera videos of the moments leading up to O’Neal’s shooting before they were released to the public.

“My heart is completely broken,” Brown said after watching the videos at Chicago Police Headquarters. “I felt like that was a tear right down the middle of this relationship between the community and police, and I think it’s going to even further divide communities in Chicago as it relates to public safety in the city.”

O’Neal, 18, was shot and killed by Chicago police last week, after allegedly ramming two squad cars while fleeing police in a stolen Jaguar near 73rd and Merrill.

Brown said the videos show the police chase, and officers firing into the car before O’Neal fled on foot, but nothing after that until O’Neal already had been shot, and was lying on the ground.

“It just doesn’t sit well, and is has me very heartbroken and very angry at this particular moment,” he said.
