Releasing video footage part of an active, ongoing criminal investigation could sensationalize the details of the case, State Police argue. | ROMEOVILLE, IL — Lawyers with the Illinois State Police have asked a judge not to move forward with a federal wrongful death lawsuit against Will County Sheriff's Lt. John Allen, the sniper who fatally shot a 65-year-old Crest Hill man surrendering to police and walking out of the Fifth Third Bank on Weber Road one year ago, according to the lawsuit. Despite the passing of an entire year, the Illinois State Police still have not finished their investigation of the deadly shooting of Gregory Walker, even though the case was presented to Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow and his prosecutors late July.
