Chicago cop relieved of duties after fatal crash

Chicago police say they're conducting an internal investigation after a car allegedly driven by an off-duty police officer struck and killed a boy riding his bicycle.

The department says a 39-year-old officer has been relieved of his police duties following the incident Friday around 1:30 a.m. on the South Side.

A police spokeswoman says the crash was a hit-and-run. The Chicago Tribune is quoting witnesses who say the car was speeding and didn't stop after hitting the child.

The family of 13-year-old Trenton Booker says he sneaked out with friends after going to bed. They say they didn't realize he wasn't home until police officers came to inform them he was dead.

The boy's father, Terrence Booker, says the impact tore his son's body to pieces and killed him immediately.
