Jury finds Chicago police officer not guilty in girlfriend's 2021 shooting death

A Chicago police officer has been acquitted in the 2021 fatal shooting of a woman who was the mother of his child. A Cook County jury on Friday found 32-year-old Pierre Tyler not guilty of first-degree murder in the death of 29-year-old Andris Wofford. Prosecutors have said the two had argued over Wofford’s belief that Tyler was married and also had children with the other woman. The Chicago Sun-Times reports Tyler testified Friday that Wofford pointed his gun at him and that the weapon fired as he tried to shove it away.
