Chicago, Ill. April 4, 2021--The family of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was shot to death by a Chicago Police Officer on March 29, 2021, condemns alleged calls for violence and urges people to remain respectful, peaceful, and law abiding in expressing their grief over Adam's death.
On Friday, the Chicago Police Department issued an "officer safety alert," alleging that the Narcotics Division had received information that gang factions have been instructed to shoot at unmarked police cars in retaliation for Adam's death.

Adam's mother, Elizabeth Toledo, is asking that the community respect her son by remaining peaceful.
"No one has anything to gain by inciting violence," Mrs. Toledo said. "Adam was a sweet and loving boy. He would not want anyone else to be injured or die in his name."
Additionally, Joel Hirschhorn of the nationwide firm of Gray Robinson PA, has joined Adeena Weiss Ortiz of Weiss Ortiz PC, in handling the case.
