Uploaded On:Tuesday 4th of February 2025

CHICAGO – The Civilian Office of Police Accountability released body camera video of the fatal police shooting of a man who had a knife as he approached officers inside a Little Village apartment building last month.

Chicago police officers shot and killed Timothy Glaze, 58, on Jan. 3 at the Albany Terrace Apartments, a Chicago Housing Authority complex for seniors, in the 3000 block of West 21st Place.

The video, released on Tuesday, appears to confirm the Chicago police narrative of how the shooting unfolded.

Officers were called to the apartment building a little after 2 a.m. for a report of a domestic dispute involving a person with a knife on the sixth floor.

The body camera footage appears to show officers exiting an elevator onto the sixth floor of the building around 2:18 a.m., knocking on an open door and announcing their presence. A man dressed in a dark hoodie and baseball cap is then seen stepping in the doorway of the aparment.

One of the officers is heard asking, “What’s going on?”

The man responded, “Nothing.”

The man appeared to have a knife in his right hand and stepped toward police.

The officers stepped away from the man into the hallway as the man continued to approach them.

Within a matter of seconds, two officers fired several shots at the man who was hit and dropped to the floor.

Officers then approached the man, handcuffed him, called for an ambulance and began to render aid.

He later died.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office later identified the man as Timothy Glaze, of Cicero.

No officers were injured during the encounter. Police recovered a knife at the scene.
