Salgado had a criminal record, and was arrested in February on two felony charges of possession of a controlled substance, the Daily Herald reported. His next scheduled court date was June 4.

Salgado was killed by a gunshot wound in the upper torso, and, after an autopsy was complete, his death was ruled a homicide, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office stated on Monday afternoon.

The Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force is investigating the incident. The task force often investigates other agencies when there is a shooting, police stated.

The incident occurred east of the strip mall that includes the Angel Town preschool and a liquor store, in the strip mall with 7-Eleven, Sunrise Grill and Benedict’s Old Fashion Barber Shop.

Salgado’s wife, Tracie Salgado, filed a complaint with federal court against the two officers involved in the incident on May 14.

The complaint states that without just cause or just provocation, the defendants, either one or both officers, shot Salgado. The court document also states that the use of deadly force was excessive, unreasonable, unprovoked and unwarranted.
