Man with Adam Toledo when the boy was shot by police is out of jail on bail

LA Times  

A moment of silence is held during a rally Sunday to honor the life of Adam Toledo, 13, who was fatally shot by police. The man who was with 13-year-old Adam Toledo shortly before the boy was shot to death by a Chicago police officer has been bailed out of jail, the Cook County Sheriff’s Department disclosed Monday. Police body-camera footage shows Officer Eric Stillman shooting Adam less than a second after the boy dropped a gun, turned toward the officer and began raising his hands. Roman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, a misdemeanor, but he was later charged with felony counts of child endangerment, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and reckless discharge of a firearm after investigators determined that he fired the gun several times before police arrived.
