A Chicago police oversight board released body-camera video Thursday of an officer fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy, images that Mayor Lori Lightfoot called “excruciating”.

The officer can be seen running down an alley, chasing Adam Toledo last month and ordering him to stop, according to footage made public by the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.

“Freeze stop! Stop right f****** now! Hey show me your f****** hands! Drop it, drop it,” the officer seems to say in the video before firing a shot.

The officer then radios for help.

“Shots fired, shots fired, get an ambulance over here now,” he says as he tends to the mortally wounded teen.

“Look at me, look at me, look at me, you all right?”

The officer is joined by several colleagues, and they pump the teen’s chest in hopes of reviving him.

“Where you shot man, where you shot?” the officer asks. He does not receive an answer.

“Stay with me, stay with me!” The officer is heard saying he thinks the teen was shot in the chest.

After other officers arrived to relieve him and continue the chest compressions, the shooting officer steps away and appears to sit on the ground with his elbows resting on his knees.

He does not immediately speak after leaving the wounded teen’s side.

About two hours before the video was released, Lightfoot warned Chicagoans to brace themselves for the “extremely difficult” images.

“It was excruciating,” Lightfoot old reporters ahead of the video’s release.

“Watching the body-cam footage, which shows young Adam after he’s shot, is extremely difficult.”

She added: “And I would just say … as a mom, this is not something you want children to see.”

Toledo was allegedly in an alley with a 21-year-old man when police responded to a call of shots fired in the 2300 block of South Sawyer Avenue, shortly after 2.30am on March 29, authorities said.

The pair allegedly fled and one officer eventually opened fire on Toledo, hitting him in the chest before he was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

After the raw body camera videos, police on Thursday also released an edited timeline video showing a firearm lying on the ground at the scene of the shooting.

It also featured freeze frames of the firing officer’s body camera video that police say shows Toledo was holding a gun immediately before he was shot.
