Video released of police-involved fatal shooting on I-88

Illinois State Police on Thursday released video showing the fatal April shooting of a Warrenville man by police along Interstate 88 near Maple Park

Joseph Moreno, 36, was killed April 27 after a police pursuit that ended near Keslinger Road in DeKalb County. State police investigated the shooting.

The video begins with a Naperville police officer trying to stop Moreno’s car near North Aurora Road and Route 59. Moreno had been reported missing and possibly experiencing a mental-health crisis, authorities said.

The video shows Moreno holding a handgun out the driver’s-side window of his car several times, and has audio of the police officer telling him to drop it.

The video then shows a Warrenville police officer chasing the car on westbound I-88. The chase lasted about 20 minutes.

The car’s tires were deflated by spike strips, and it came to a stop on the shoulder.

According to Illinois State Police, an officer saw a shot being fired from the vehicle. As Moreno got out of the car holding a firearm, the officer fired two shots, according to ISP.

The video shows Moreno got out of the car, closed the door and bent over the hood. The officer told him to stand up and to drop the gun, and advised other approaching officers that Moreno still had a gun in his hand.

When other officers arrived, the first officer shot Moreno in the right leg with a beanbag, causing Moreno to drop to the ground.

Moreno’s family was given the chance to view the video before its release, state police said. The video is posted at ispvideos.il.gov.

State police have completed its investigation of the shooting, and the DeKalb County state’s attorney is reviewing it.
