Special prosecutor Patricia Brown Holmes announced that three Chicago police officers have been indicted on felony charges that they conspired to cover up the actions of a white police officer who shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The indictment further alleges that officers lied when they said McDonald ignored Van Dyke’s verbal commands and that one of the officers signed off on a report that claimed the other two officers were, in fact, victims of an attack by McDonald. Shooting victim Laquan McDonald, 17, was shot and killed by a Chicago police officer on October 20, 2014.

The officers weren’t arrested and will be allowed to show up on their own accord at their arraignment on July 10, Holmes said.
