  • Official: Chicago officer expected to be charged with murder in death of teen shot 16 times

    A charge of murder is expected to be filed against a white Chicago police officer accused of shooting a black teenager 16 times, just a day ahead of a deadline by which a judge has ordered the city to release a squad-car video of the incident. Veteran officer Jason Van Dyke is expected to be indicted Tuesday on a murder charge in the killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, an official close to the investigation told The Associated Press.
