The U.S. Attorney's Office in Chicago announced that former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke will not face any federal charges related to the killing of Laquan McDonald. U.S. Attorney John Lausch claims his decision was made after consulting with the McDonald family, but Tanisha Hunter, Laquan's aunt, denies it.
Ex-Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was granted early release from prison, meaning he's been freed after having served less than half of the 81-month sentence he got three years ago after he was found guilty of second-degree murder and 16 counts of aggravated battery for fatally shooting Laquan McDonald.
