Civilian oversight commission releases body camera video showing Chicago police officer Carlos Baker fatally shooting his partner Krystal Rivera on June 5, 2025.

Body camera footage showing a Chicago police officer fatally shooting his partner was released Friday by a civilian oversight commission.
The video shows the June 5, 2025 shooting of Officer Krystal Rivera by her partner, Officer Carlos Baker. The footage was made public by the civilian oversight body responsible for police accountability matters.
Rivera's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with the shooting. The lawsuit represents legal action taken by the deceased officer's relatives against the department or involved parties.
The release of body camera footage in officer-involved shootings has become standard practice in Chicago as part of transparency efforts. The civilian oversight commission's decision to make the video public follows established protocols for such incidents.
The shooting occurred while both officers were on duty. No additional details about the circumstances leading to the shooting or the current status of any investigation were provided in the initial reports.
