Victim of botched Chicago raid cancels meeting with mayor A Black woman who was the victim of a mistaken 2019 raid on her Chicago home has canceled a planned meeting with Chicago's mayor and a public forum with aldermenCHICAGO -- A Black woman who was the victim of a mistaken 2019 raid on her Chicago home scrapped plans Monday to meet with Chicago’s mayor and host a public forum with aldermen over disagreements on how the gatherings would proceed. The meeting was to be followed by a public forum where Chicago's 50 aldermen and Police Superintendent David Brown were invited. Lightfoot, who apologized for the raid and the city's handling, said details were still being worked out. “It is certainly my hope that Miss Young and I meet and meet soon,” Lightfoot told reporters at an unrelated news conference. In the fallout of the raid, Chicago’s top attorney resigned, Lightfoot announced an independent investigation and 12 officers were placed on administrative duty.
