A Chicago police officer now faces firing for an on-duty fatal shooting of a 24-year-old man three years ago in the South Side’s Bronzeville neighborhood.
Officer Sheldon Thrasher is accused of violating several Police Department rules when he fatally shot Maurice Granton Jr. as he tried to scale a fence, according to paperwork from the Chicago Police Board, the city’s police disciplinary panel.
