Man arrested on murder warrant moments after announcing suit against police

Moments after Dominiq Greer held a news conference Wednesday to announce a lawsuit seeking $15 million from the city - alleging a Chicago Police officer wrongfully shot him seven times - he was arrested on a murder warrant as he waited for a ride.

"I had no clue," said his lawyer Eugene Hollander, who hosted the 10 a.m. conference at his Loop office. "It's definitely a surprise to me. He was going to grab an Uber back home and as he was waiting, a squad car pulled up."

On May 27, police responded to a call of shots fired in an apartment in the 5600 block of South Wabash and found Larry fatally shot in the chest.

Greer, 26, was playing in a dice game and got into a quarrel over money before the shooting, authorities said.
