Video After The Jump
CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago mom who was accused of telling her teen son to shoot a man at a restaurant is suing the city & arresting officers, a day after murder charges against her & her son were dropped.
Carlishia Hood, 35, was held on $3 million bail after she was charged last week with first-degree murder & contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said it was unable to “meet our burden of proof in the prosecution of these cases.”
“I’ve experienced pain in many ways that I would never have thought,” she said about her arrest. ”What happened to me was totally unnecessary. Never in a million years would I have imagined being brutally attacked, beaten & being arrested.”
Hood alleges malicious prosecution, false arrest & intentional infliction of emotional distress in her lawsuit.
A cellphone video posted on social media over the weekend shows the man yelling at Hood on June 18 to “get your food” before threatening to “knock” her out. He then punches Hood in the face & head several times.
Prosecutors said Hood texted her 14-year-old son, who was outside the restaurant, to come inside.
Jeremy Brown, 32, was shot in the back by the teen & then ran from the restaurant. Hood & her son followed Brown as Hood told the teen to continue shooting, prosecutors said. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene.
Prosecutors said Hood has a valid firearm owner’s identification card & a concealed-carry permit.
