The City of Chicago has been named as a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from last December when an off-duty police officer, accused of driving drunk, fatally struck a pedestrian.

In September 2020, a car fleeing Chicago police crashed into a vehicle carrying 10-year-old Da'Karia Spicer. Now, one week before a lawsuit was set to go to trial, lawyers for the city filed a motion to admit liability.
