Julia Rietz, Champaign County State’s Attorney, received the report about the investigation of the death of 15-year-old Kiwane Carrington Thursday.
According to the State’s Attorney’s office, they are not releasing any information from the report and do not know when they will release it as of now.
“Julia is not releasing any statements to the public at this time,” Rietz’s office said.
Carrington was shot by police during an altercation he and another 15-year-old had with Champaign Police Chief R.T. Finney and a Champaign police officer. Police responded to a call at 1:20 p.m. on Friday at the 900 block of West Vine Street after a neighbor reported two subjects entering a nearby residence, according to a press release from the police department. The neighbor did not think they subjects had permission to enter the property.
Deb Williams, the owner of the home, said Carrington was living with her at the time and had her permission to be in the house at any time, even though the boy was supposed to be in school when the struggle occurred.
