Police said Antoine Watkins, 21, was fleeing from a shooting that killed Marvin "Capo" Carr, 22, in the South Shore neighborhood. A lawsuit filed by Dillan's mother stated that Watkins was being chased at speeds in excess of 60 mph, and that the 20 unnamed officers involved were told to stop the chase because there were too many pedestrians, but instead continued pursuit for another 20 minutes.
