“Don’t let me come here again and hear you tell me how to grieve, until you have walked in my shoes." Jeffery Love confronts local officials at Monday night’s Mundelein Village Board meeting over the killing of her daughter by Mundelein police. Mary Alice Love, a Black woman, was experiencing a mental health crisis on May 11 when her family called a non-emergency number seeking assistance. Instead of mental health professionals, police arrived. Mary Alice was shot four times by Mundelein Police Officer Christopher Brigano. Family members and their supporters have protested outside of the Mundelein Village Hall and attended multiple board meetings demanding justice for Mary Alice. No officers have been fired or disciplined for the shooting. Village officials have not discussed making any changes to their mental health response or use of force policies.
