As he gets up and reaches for the door, a single gunshot is fired from outside, hitting him.
Walker died.
ABC7 Chicago froze the video before he was hit.
The video was released Monday after a Will County Grand Jury decided they could not find enough evidence to indict the Will County SWAT Team member who fired the fatal shot.
Neither the Will County Sheriff’s Office nor the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office immediately responded to requests for comment.
The Will County Coroner’s Office previously identified him as Gregory Walker.
