Jan. 9, 2025 - On the morning of Nov. 29, 2024, Oak Park Police Detective Allan Reddins was killed in the line of duty while responding to a call involving an armed offender. The Village of Oak Park extends its deepest condolences to Detective Reddins’ family, friends and colleagues within the Oak Park Police Department, and the wider law enforcement community, as they continue to process the grief caused by this senseless act of violence.
In order to be responsive to multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and media inquiries received by the Village of Oak Park and the Oak Park Police Department, the Village today released footage from five (5) body-worn cameras (BWC) from several officers and sergeants who were on the scene that day, including Detective Reddins. The footage includes distressing and graphic content related to Detective Reddins being shot and killed in the line of duty.
Please be aware that the content may be seen in forthcoming media reports. The footage may be disturbing or triggering for some viewers. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
For those interested in donating to support a fund for the Reddins family, Oak Park Lodge #8, Fraternal Order of Police, is currently collecting donations. All money raised will go directly to a financial account that has been set up by the Fraternal Order of Police in support of the Reddins family, in particular for his son who attends Morehouse College and his mother who is receiving medical treatment. Donations in support of the Reddins family can be made via this Fund the First donation page.
On Nov. 30, 2024, Jerell Thomas of Chicago was charged by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office with first-degree murder in connection with Reddins’ death. Since being indicted, Thomas is now facing up to 56 felony charges including attempted murder of a peace officer, possession of a stolen firearm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon. He remains in custody and is due to appear next in the Circuit Court of Cook County on March 4 for a court status.
