new husband 24 times in 'self defense'
The officer who brutally beat special needs student Marshawn Pitts has
been identified as 38-year-old Christopher Lloyd, according to Chicago
Breaking News, which spoke to Lloyd's father.
The news agency reported that Lloyd is currently in jail after being
charged with the rape of a woman he knew and is facing a 20-year sentence
should he be convicted.
The Chicago Tribune-backed service adds: "A lawsuit filed by his ex-wife,
Nicole McKinney, last summer alleges he gunned down her new husband
Cornel McKinney in front of their children outside their home on the 6100
block of South Langley Avenue on Feb. 17, 2008."
An autopsy revealed Lloyd shot the man 24 times, the agency found. He was
not jailed at the time as Chicago police accepted his explanation that
the killing was in self-defense.
Lloyd also reportedly told his father that the boy he was filmed
assaulting had a history of behavioral problems and had cursed at him
when told to tuck in his shirt.
