Chicago police officers investigate the scene where two officers were shot at 63rd Street and Bell Avenue in Chicago on Aug. 7, 2021. Officer Ella French was fatally shot and Officer Carlos Yanez suffered serious gunshot wounds..
Emonte Morgan, 23, is charged with murder, attempted murder and other felonies in the slaying of French, injuring of Yanez and of shooting at their partner, Joshua Blas. Blas returned fire and struck and injured Morgan. Defense attorneys, though, have contended that the footage can only go so far in offering proof. They’ve argued that the video in the moment of the shooting is too muffled and chaotic to make out what happened.
Blas testified that he chased after Eric Morgan when he took off, then returned when he heard gunfire.Yanez took the stand and fought to compose himself as he was asked to spell his name.
