Alexis Wilson, 19, was punched and killed by police officers in Homewood, Illinois, after they shot into her van when she was trying to pick up food for her family. Her family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Illinois police. Dr. Rashad Richey and Adrienne Lawrence discuss on Indisputable. Tell us what you think in the comments below.
“The parents of an Illinois teen want answers after their daughter went to pick up dinner at a restaurant drive-thru but never made it home. The family of Alexis Wilson, 19, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Illinois police officers accused of punching and killing the teenager.
Alexis was the sweetest girl in our family, like, she absolutely loved everybody,” said Cara Wilson, mother of Alexis Wilson.
On the one-year anniversary of her daughter’s death, Cara Wilson is still heartbroken by what happened to Alexis Wilson of Homewood, Illinois, on July 27, 2021. Homewood is about 25 miles south of Chicago, and the night Wilson was killed, she ordered food from Baba’s Famous Steak and Lemonade restaurant, but something was wrong with her order. Cara Wilson says the manager refused to correct the order or give a refund, causing Alexis Wilson to go through the drive-thru to try and get another employee’s attention.”

God damn murders never take a break
Just a note to correct a fact in the intro. Alexis was killed in Dolton, Illinois, not Homewood, and the encounter was with Dolton police.
Nazi Pigs
Pathetic
The people at store are also accountable ………..for misleading call to police …………wooooooow
My first reaction as a dad is that all those involved would never be found!
That's evil satanic what they did. Almost like human aacrificing.
If you're black, becareful, what you say, what you do, and where you are, long wait, for nothing, they will get away with pension and no jail time Babylon is Babylon
If i was the dad i would of pull her out the car my self.life lost could of be prevented
Hey bin through this just this weekend I had to stand my grounds cause one officer came at me aggressive and I told him I will fight back if u come at me with any unnecessary aggression the other officer try to calm the situation but I told them I'm not going to b handled especially because I didn't have a gun don't own a gun
Dont forget they were not scared of the so called gun when they were punching her
Smh!!!!
And she lived right across the street what make it so bad
He has it confused. In most cases there's two separate America's. One for blacks and one for whites.
Time for a follow up.
I think its really time to reduce our conversations with Chicago police. I watched alot of westerns growing up and leared there are good people and there are bad people. Regardless if they are police. They don't no shydt. They get a call about you and you think when they show up they are going to help you. Comply to their order.
Here what or why they are stopping you. Don't say nothing!? You did not call them and they have been told you are the problem. Hear what they have to say then gather yourself and explain and make it short and to the point. No matter what color they are? They are scared!
Yeah there are two different ideas of who is the good guy and must likely 9 out of 10…You are the bad guy. It took me a long time to learn my elbow from a hot rock. Cops are the hot rock?!
All of this over food!?
Whoever said that she hit the glass window with a gun it's the one who set the tempo for her getting killed… In layman's terms it's their fault… They lied on her and they lied to the police.
Always manage to kill us in under a MINUTE.
Cops are garbage
might need to get back to old days,everyone have gun,whos the quickest on the draw,cause these dummy cops just killing up black folks for fun
if you want to commit suicide,call the cops,all they seem use for,is killing folks,what happened to protecting,need all of their asses shot up
Same thing happened to Breonna Taylor she was left to die and injured Officer went to hospital, what happened to protect and serve the Citizens 😳
Notice how the boyfriend avoided being shot, because we as black men already know wassup with 12.
Women be letting their emotions get the best of them.
Something is wrong why all the Chiefs in racist areas are black
When Obama Was In Office
He Acknowledged We're The ADOS
Yet At That Same Time Obama
Signed A Bill Called "The Blue Law"
Which Gives The 🚓 The Right
To KILL American Blacks With Impunity 🧐💯
Look It Up🧐💯
I AM SO SADDENED BY THIS.
I AM ALSO AFRAID. MY GOD GOODNESS.😳😳😳😳
Black people are so far from freedom. This is not living. I'd rather die fighting.
I have a quick question would this have happened if she would have got another car like she was told to sounds like the boyfriend didn't he's all right it seems like most deaths by cops are caused by people not listening and following orders play stupid games win stupid prizes and before you say she couldn't get out the car because she was naked well that's against the law to drive around your car naked I'm sorry shouldn't have been breaking the law
These black chiefs are the worst, these guys are only black in appearance & totally white in their mind..
Im shooting the tyrants before they shoot me! DEFUND THE POLICE!!
So much anger!
Incorrect. That's exactly how it works in America.
Maybe it's not supposed to.
But we have a system that protects corrupt police officers and allows them to get away with murder.
We have one political party that sides with police corruption and brutality because of racism.
We have another political party that is scared to call the police out because they may lose votes from moderates (which they probably wouldn't get anyway) so they stand by and do nothing!
We can't take the cops to court and sue then personally due to qualified immunity.
If you want to see the most injustice ever just look at the American justice system!
If they are black..then ya just kill em…the United States Police Departments..
this was cold-blooded murder and the cops involved need to be murdered also.
This is the shitt I am talking about how the police just started punching this woman and she took off to stop him punching this woman and then he shoots in the car and killed this young black women again it shows you how cops in America don't care about our black women or our black kids or our black men they just don't care about black people at all in America dame shame another black person looses here life behind these pussy ass police in America today your day is coming America
The restaurant set that whole thing in motion over some food this young lady lost her life when the restaurant worker could have just corrected the order or give her a refund so sad they need to be sued as well.
No you can’t drive away if the cop punches you. No cops are not allowed to fire at fleeing vehicles (if you think that is cool and don’t care about the driver look at where the car ended up – that behavior can get people totally un-involved KILLED and that is why you don’t).
The biggest failure here was the bad tactics. They could have had her turn off the vehicle first. Tell her she can stay there if she turns off the car and puts the key on the dashboard (that is usually going to fly) then get her a blanket from the cruiser to cover her lower parts (bonus points if you have a female officer).
The suit will still go though and the police will be paying (they already have to pay the homeowner) but this was what happens when poor policing strikes. This is not hateful but just incompetent. The police should have investigated with the lady on the side. Unless they think that she was a robber that just waited for the cops in a running car (that is pretty rare). In the end this was a non-criminal dispute. The store also has to be punished in some was as well in the lawsuit. But I hope they took that officer Barney Fife off the street at MINIMUM because they had poor tactics, showed a lack of restraint and did not know when it was proper discharge a firearm!
And to punch her in her face like he's entitled to beat her that sorry ass no account wanna be a cop,he wouldn't want anyone beating his wife or daughter. SMH
Just because the Tyrant is used to beating his wife, doesn't mean he could now start beating any other woman. Yeah his wife shouldn't get beat either, which if she does and most likely does get beat, it's up to her to report it. That's if the Tyrant was married in the first place.
This is what happens when u hire cowards and loose cannons…sad but annother one tomorrow to be continued…😣
why is he PUNCHINGER HER?????????
This will literally not stop until officers and their families are systematically knocked off in response to these kinds of incidents. NOBODY cares about protests but they WILL care when the same happens to them, and their families in a calculated way.
By their hands, unto them and theirs .
WOW THEY BLAME CRIME ON THE PEOPLE 99% OF THE TIME BUT NEVER THE POLICE
