CHICAGO — A suburban Chicago police chief has identified the officer who fatally shot a security guard outside the bar where he worked. Midlothian Police Chief Daniel Delaney says fourth-year Officer Ian Covey shot 26-year-old Jemel Roberson on Nov. 11 in nearby Robbins, just south of Chicago. Delaney had previously resisted calls to release Covey’s name. Delaney said Friday that Covey, who’s white, remains on administrative leave pending a state police investigation. Roberson was killed while holding at gunpoint a man involved in an earlier shooting at the bar.
