The boy's mother, Elizabeth Toledo, told Chicago ABC station WLS that her son had hopes of one day becoming a police officer. 'He was so full of life,' she said. 'They just took it away from him.'

said they "want to correct the hurtful and false mischaracterization of Adam as a lonely child of the street who had no one to turn to."

Both individuals fled and the officers chased after them on foot, leading to a "confrontation" in the alley, Brown said. An officer fired their weapon, striking one of the males in the chest. The individual was pronounced dead at the scene and a gun was recovered. The 21-year-old man who was with him was taken into custody for resisting arrest, according to Brown.

After the boy's fingerprints returned no matching records in any database, detectives began combing through missing person reports. They came across one from Toledo's mother who had reported him missing on March 26 before telling police that her son had returned home the following day, according to Brown. Detectives called Toledo's mother on March 31 to inform her that the description of her son resembled an unidentified individual in the morgue.

"As a person of faith, i know that there is only one who can judge and it is none of us," Lightfoot told reporters. "This is a complicated story and it's not my story to tell, particularly not as our understanding of the facts is evolving."
