A teenage music prodigy who was shot by suburban police pursing a pair of bank robbers was awarded nearly $2 million in a settlement with the city of Des Plaines.
Rylan Wilder, now 19, was shot and severely injured at a music school on Chicago's Northwest Side on Nov. 19, 2019.
Willis continued to flee and committed a carjacking before leading Des Plaines and Chicago police on a high speed chase on the Kennedy Expressway. He eventually exited at Irving Park Road. Prosecutors say officers with Des Plaines police came inside and started firing. Willis was shot and killed during the incident.
His lawyers filed a lawsuit alleging Des Plaines police’s actions were "excessive" and that he displayed "reckless, willful and wanton conduct" and did not consider the safety of innocent citizens at the music school when he went in shooting.
