CIVILIAN OFFICE OF POLICE ACCOUNTABILITY LOG# 1033096
SUPPLEMENTARY SUMMARY REPORT OF INVESTIGATION'
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Date of Incident: January 12, 2010

Time of Incident: 4:39 a.m.
Location of Incident: Chicago IL, 60655
Date of COPA Notification: January 12, 2010
Time of COPA Notification: 9:23 a.m.
This investigation originated on January 12, 2010, after Chicago Police Officers responded
to Officer Patrick Kelly's residence for a call of a person shot. Upon arrival, emergency responders
discovered Jr. with a gunshot wound to the head. Officer Kelly related that
shot himself with Officer Kelly's gun during a suicide attempt. sustained
traumatic brain injury because of the gunshot wound. prognosis was poor. He was in a
coma and spent two months in the hospital. Following his hospital stay, spent the next
two months at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago before returning home with his parents.
When regained consciousness, he was unable to speak and incapable of providing a
statement regarding what occurred on the night in question. Shortly after the shooting,
uncle, a self-professed handgun expert, expressed concerns regarding Officer
Kelly's account of the incident, and stated that the model of gun involved would not have fired in
the manner described by Officer Kelly.
IPRA made seven (7) allegations of misconduct against Officer Kelly regarding his actions
the night of January 11, and early morning of January 12, 2010. The initial investigation closed at
IPRA on August 8, 2012. IPRA sustained five (5) of those allegations2 and reached a finding of
not sustained for two of those allegations: whether Officer Kelly shot and whether Officer
Kelly gave false statements to investigating officers and detectives regarding the occurrence. One
of the bases for the not sustained finding regarding whether Officer Kelly shot was
physical inability to provide a statement about the night in question and IPRA' s inability
to collect independent information regarding recollection of the incident or any other
evidence to refute or substantiate the allegation.
On September 15, 2017, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) replaced the Independent Police
Review Authority (IPRA) as the civilian oversight agency of the Chicago Police Department. Therefore, this
investigation, which began under IPRA, was transferred to COPA on September 15, 2017, and the recommendation(s)
set forth herein are the recommendation(s) of COPA.
2The five (5) sustained allegations related to Officer Kelly's behavior while intoxicated the early morning of January
12, 2010. The original Summary Report of Investigation detailed the accounts of the CPD and paramedic witnesses
who were present on scene after the shooting, nearly all of whom indicated that Officer Kelly was belligerent, verbally
and physically abusive, and clearly intoxicated.
family filed a civil lawsuit against the City of Chicago and Officer Kelly in
October 2010 regarding the incident.3 On October 26, 2017, the court entered a judgment against
the City of Chicago after a jury returned a verdict in favor.4 More than 95 depositions
were taken during the civil suit's pendency. After IPRA' s investigation closed, regained
some ability to communicate and reportedly started having memories of the incident—specifically,
that he did not shoot himself and that he had not been suicidal prior to the incident.
COPA obtained new evidence from the City of Chicago's and attorneys and
audited the original investigation. New evidence that developed during the civil litigation was
directly relevant to the two allegations that were previously not sustained, accordingly COPA
reevaluated these two allegations. During this reevaluation COPA reviewed the original summary
report and the documents relied upon therein that served as a basis for the original findings. COPA
also reviewed pertinent deposition and trial testimony, including that of Officer Patrick Kelly,
subject-matter experts regarding the physical evidence, and expert witnesses
regarding cognitive ability. Additionally, COPA interviewed and re-
interviewed Officer Kelly. The following COPA Supplemental Summary report does not repeat
information contained in the original summary report, but only includes information and evidence
obtained since the original investigation's conclusion.

III. ALLEGATIONS
Officer Allegation Finding

Officer Patrick Kelly 6. Shot I Sustained
3 The civil case was filed in the Law Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County with the caption of v. City
of Chicago, et al., case no.: 10 L 11901. The case was subsequently removed to the U.S. Court for the Northern District
of Illinois under the same caption, and with case number 14 cv 09665.
4 The verdict in the civil lawsuit does not impact COPA's findings in this case. Officer Kelly settled the claims that
were pending against him in his personal capacity prior to trial, and thus no verdict was entered against him. In addition
to the events of January 12, 2010, the allegations against the City of Chicago covered a broad range of topics beyond
COPA's jurisdiction in this case including: findings from the Department of Justice's investigation into the Chicago
Police Department, how the City handled eighteen (18) allegations of wrongdoing against Officer Kelly in the five
years prior to the shooting, and the adequacy of the Chicago Police Department's investigation into the shooting. (See
the Court's September 29, 2017 Memorandum Opinion, Docket No. 405, v. City of Chicago, et al., 1:14-cv-
09665). However, COPA has obtained transcripts of sworn testimony from this case and has considered relevant
testimony from them.

V. INVESTIGATIONS
A. Testimony from new witness interviews and depositions
1. Accused Officer Patrick Kelly
In a deposition on May 4, 2012, Officer Patrick Kelly stated6 that, sometime after 10:00

kitchen and he and talked. Officer Kelly stated that he and were fine and did not
5 COPA conducted a thorough and complete investigation. The following is a summary of new material evidence
gathered and relied upon in our analysis. Additionally, the original investigation under this log number made sustained
findings that Officer Kelly was intoxicated while off duty, failed to secure his weapon, assaulted Sergeant Kielbasa,
verbally abused Sergeant Kilabasa in that he directed profanity at her and referred to her with a derogatory term, and
brought discredit on the Department when he interfered with Chicago Fire Department personnel that were attempting
to treat and as a result he was subsequently arrested. As no evidence was brought to light in the
course of the civil case that discredited any of the witnesses interviewed during IPRA' s original investigation, COPA
has not re-opened an investigation into the first five allegations of that summary report.
6 This summary of Officer Kelly's deposition is limited to statements Officer Kelly made regarding the events leading
up to the shooting.

testimony at deposition was materially consistent with the narrative of her interview
memorialized in the detectives' report, with one exception. At deposition she stated that

6. Testimony about "Mikey" Jr.'s right-handedness
In a deposition on January 15, 2016, Jr.'s uncle, testified

that, his nephew Mikey uses his right hand for throwing and writing. The one time the two went
hunting together, Mikey shot a shotgun right-handed.24
In a deposition on February 23, 2012, Jr.'s uncle,

testified that he went hunting approximately 20 times a year with Mikey, and that Mikey used long
guns and handguns right-handed. In fact, Mikey's shotgun for hunting could only be used right-
handed as it ejected shells on the right side of the rifle. also testified that he had never
owned a Sig Sauer pistol, and that he had only fired one six or seven times in his life.25

handgun. Mikey ate and wrote left-handed but did everything else with his right hand. The two
had been hunting together over 50 times, and Mikey always shot right-handed.26
In a deposition on December 3, 2015, Jr.'s mother,

gave the following testimony about Mikey being ambidextrous: "He shot with the right hand. He
[used a] baseball-bat with the right hand. He shoveled with the right hand. He drove with the right
hand. The only two things I've ever seen him do with his left was eat and write."'
B. Additional physical evidence from medical records and expert testimony
1. Medical Records
According to Jr.'s medical records from Advocate Christ Medical

Center28, per a toxicology screen taken on January 12, 2010 at 5:00 a.m., an hour or so after the
incident, had a blood alcohol content of 0.155. There were no positive findings for
narcotics on the toxicology report.
2. Expert testimony regarding forensic evidence found at the scene
a. Expert witnesses retained by family
In a deposition on November 22, 2016, Doctor a scientist and expert

in biomechanics, and head and back injuries, was retained as an expert witness to determine
whether Officer Kelly's description of the incident is consistent with the physical evidence. His
testimony referenced the findings he made in his written report. Dr. stated that the blood
spatter observed in the photographs of the scene could not have been produced by a self-inflicted
wound, and therefore could not have shot himself According to Dr. based on
the trajectory of the blood as depicted in the photographs, it would be unlikely for to have
been standing in the threshold of the doorway to the bedroom, contradicting Officer Kelly's
version of events. The curvature of the blood pattern is consistent with facing in a
southwesterly direction, not facing north into the bedroom.29 Additionally, in Dr.
report he concluded that based on the CT scans of head, the path of the bullet appears to
be at an angle, closer to the back of the head, as if the bullet were travelling more toward the back
of his head. Given that, it would not be possible for to shoot the gun with his right hand
and achieve the trajectory consistent with the physical evidence. Dr. stated that it would
be unlikely for to use his left hand at the time he was injured, because according to
mother and brother, had right-handed gun handling habits.3°
In a deposition on November 9, 2016, Doctor a board-certified physician

in Anatomical, Clinical, and Forensic Pathology, stated that, based on the radiological appearance
of the gunshot wound, with extensive skull fractures, and the description of ejected brain tissue,

the gunshot wound that sustained was a contact wound (the muzzle was in contact with
the scalp at the time of discharge). According to Dr. based on the location of the entrance
wound, the contact nature of the wound, and the trajectory of the bullet through the brain, and
assuming the gun, a Sig Sauer 226, was held in one hand, Dr. opined that in all medical
probability, gunshot wound could not have been self-inflicted. In addition, Dr.
stated that the presence or absence of gunshot residue on the hands or clothing of an individual
cannot be used to scientifically determine whether an individual shot himself or was shot by
another.31 Dr. report states facts consistent with his testimony at deposition.32
b. Expert witnesses retained by the City of Chicago
In a deposition on March 21, 2017, Doctor a forensic DNA expert, stated

that, his office was retained to examine the pair of denim jeans recovered from Officer Kelly and
compare it to DNA profile. Dr. concluded that the red-brown (blood) stains on
the left knee of the denim jeans are from Dr. stated that he could not determine
when the blood was found on the jeans, or how the blood got there. Dr. stated that he did
not have sufficient information to determine the distance between Officer Kelly and at the
time of the shooting. Dr. added that there could be more than one viable explanation as to
how blood came to be on Officer Kelly's jeans. Additionally, Dr. tested a second
red-brown stain from the right rear pocket of the denim jeans. Dr. concluded that
was excluded as the contributor of the DNA profile for that stain.33 Dr. report specifies
that DNA was the only standard the two stain samples were compared to.
Additionally, the report states facts consistent with his testimony at deposition.34
In a deposition on April 6, 2017, Doctor a forensic scientist and

criminalist, was retained to look at crime scene photographs and evaluate the bloodstain patterns.
Dr. stated that based on his analysis of the bloodstain patterns, the exact position and
placement of when he was shot cannot be determined; nor can it be determined who shot
Dr. added that the bloodstain patterns depicted in the photographs could be
produced if either person, or Officer Kelly, shot 35
In a deposition on May 1, 2017, Doctor Richard a forensic scientist specializing

in crime scene reconstruction and supervisor for the Washington State Patrol crime laboratory. Dr.
stated that, in this case he reviewed Dr. reports, CPD's incident report
and scene photographs, Officer Kelly's statements, medical reports, and Illinois State
Police crime laboratory reports. Dr. concluded that since the bullet did not exit and there
are no photographs of the wound immediately after the event, the position/orientation of the
firearm and the trajectory of the bullet into head cannot be determined. According to
Dr. the damage to skull and an apparent hair or scalp fragment on the south
window frame of the residence is consistent with a contact or near contact shot. However, Dr.
could not render an opinion about the trajectory of the shot based on the skull fragments'

location. Dr. stated that the operation of the firearm involved in this incident, a Sig Sauer
P226 DAK, is consistent with Officer Kelly's account that the gun clicked and then fired. This
firearm is equipped with a double-action only trigger system, which requires approximately half
the effort to fire than the standard Sig Sauer P226 model in double-action mode. According to Dr.
pulling the trigger when placed against the head is easily accomplished under a number of
wrist angles. Dr. stated that the "out of battery" safety on the firearm prevents the weapon
from firing when the muzzle of the firearm is pressed against a surface. In some instances, the
firing mechanism will function, creating an audible click, but will not fire a cartridge.
Additionally, Dr. stated that if the frame of the firearm is unsupported during firing, i.e.
held loosely, or the slide is restricted, it is possible that the fired cartridge case will remain in the
chamber. Dr. added that this occurrence is commonly observed in case of suicide, or if
there is a struggle for the firearm at the time of firing. Dr. stated that based on his analysis
of the evidence and the firearm that he examined, the evidence in this case is "not inconsistent
with a suicide;" however, there is no direct evidence for Dr. to conclusively say whether
Officer Kelly or pulled the trigger.36 Dr. conclusions are contained in his written
reports which is consistent with the facts he testified to at his deposition.37
c. Expert testimony regarding memory, cognitive, and linguistic

abilities after the injury
In a deposition on May 2, 2016, Speech Pathologist stated that, she

began overseeing therapy sessions with in the Fall of 2012. The therapy sessions were
intended to help with his ability to express his basic ideas, needs, and wants.
stated that she learned from a combination of sources including his mother, and news
reports that and a friend had been drinking heavily when a gun went off—resulting in
injury. When asked specifically what information she learned from
stated that she had very limited conversations with regarding his injury. did,
however, recall a session where mother informed that was going to
be featured on a Dave Savini news report, and said, "I didn't shoot myself."
stated that she cannot offer any opinions regarding ability to recollect what happened
with respect to the injury he sustained in January 2010.38
In a deposition on May 31, 2016, stated that, she provided physical therapy
to stated that was not communicative or expressive when he first began
treatment in 2010, but he was able to follow commands. stated that in 2012, started
having short conversations and answering yes/no questions. documented in her notes dated
January 16, 2015 that spoke about the incident, and related that he had been drinking with
his friend and his friend shot him. In her deposition, acknowledged that there was a
discrepancy in her notes, because on the same date, a separate section of the notes documents that
claimed he did not remember the incident, or anything after the incident up until January
2012. When asked to explain, stated that first brought up the incident between one
year to one-and-a-half years prior to January 16, 2015; and that her notes are a culmination of old

evaluations and information obtained from both and his parents. stated that when
she confronted about the discrepancies in his statements, responded that he
blacked out. stated that family members have mentioned to her that had amnesia
for a long period of time and does not have recollection of the incident.39
In a deposition on May 5, 2016, Doctor a practicing physician at Christ

Medical Center with a specialty in physical rehabilitation and treatment, stated that, he manages a
variety of musculoskeletal and other pain problems that arise with In December 2015,
Dr. performed a Mini Mental Status Examination on to address current
cognitive status. Dr. opined that sustained severe, traumatic, lifelong brain injury.
The entire left hemisphere of brain was significantly injured, and he had very significant
atrophy (shrinking) on the left side of his brain, from the back to the front. Dr. stated that
the injuries sustained resulted in his slower processing of information, and has
difficulty at times in finding words.4°
In a deposition on May 5, 2016, Radiologist stated that, he could not

offer any opinions to a reasonable degree of medical certainty as to what effect injury
had on his memory. He could not tell the trajectory, other than that the bullet traveled from left to
right and front to back. He could not give an opinion as to whether the gunshot wound was self-
inflicted. Dr. added that the left parietal lobe and the right high post occipital regions
of brain suffered brain death; however, he does not have an opinion as to what effect
death to those parts of the brain had on 41
In a deposition on April 28, 2016, Doctor stated that, he is a

licensed physician who practices in plastic surgery and hand surgery. Dr. stated that
he performed multiple surgical procedures on in 2010. Dr. stated that he could
not offer any opinions regarding cognitive function; and he never assessed whether
gunshot wound was self-inflicted. Dr. stated that loss of oxygen could affect
someone's memory, but Dr. could not speak to the impact brain injury had
on his memory.42
In a deposition on May 6, 2016, Doctor the neurosurgeon who operated

on following his injury, stated that, sustained a gunshot wound to the left parietal
region of his brain. Dr. stated that it was not possible for him to determine whether the
gunshot wound was self-inflicted.43
In a deposition on April 12, 2016, Doctor , Trauma Director at Advocate

Christ Medical Center, stated that the traumatic brain injury that sustained can cause
significant cognitive dysfunction that would also affect memory function. He testified that "[i]n
an injury as severe as this one, it is very possible that long-term memory may be seriously

injury—which would lend to the possibility that the injured person would have memory issues."'
Dr. further stated that, "based on the severity of brain injury and his hospital
course, it is highly unlikely that he has regained full neurologic function."45
In a deposition on September 12, 2016, Doctor stated that, he performed

an analysis of medical records, medical history, and physical exam for the purpose of
life care planning and future medical needs. Dr. stated that he never spoke to about
how he was injured, in part because he did not think would remember due to posttraumatic
amnesia. Dr. stated that based on his review of the records, his opinion is that did
not shoot himself because of the angle of the gunshot wound. Dr. acknowledged, however,
that he was not retained to give an opinion regarding whether the gunshot wound was self-
inflicted.46
In a deposition on April 3, 2017, Doctor board-certified in neurology and

physical medicine and rehabilitation, stated that based on his review of medical records,
receptive and expressive abilities are impaired. Dr. stated that given the nature of
injury and his cognitive residuals, he cannot see how could have possibly
remembered what happened at the time of his injury.47
In a deposition on April 14, 2017, Doctor a clinical

neuropsychologist, opined that report of what transpired on January 12, 2010 is
unreliable. Dr. stated that the effects of the brain injury, as well as alcohol
intoxication, might affect accurate recall of that information. He observed that the
trauma from the gunshot wound affected multiple regions of the brain—including those regions
responsible for memory storage. Additionally, Dr. stated that memory,
particularly the memories of events surrounding the time in which the gunshot was sustained, was
affected. Dr. stated that suggestibility and misattribution are two of many errors that
can affect accuracy of recall and recollection. Dr. questioned the degree to which
other people talking about the events of January 12, 2010 could have intruded on
recollection and recall of the events, such that they may have become part of his own recall, but
the source of which was not from his own experience. According to Dr. suggestibility
happens to a higher degree in people with brain damaged, as they are more susceptible to the
influence and the information provided by others, that they then incorporate into their own
memories. For instance, if heard others talking or hypothesizing about what transpired on
the date of the injury and began to incorporate it into his own mind, that would affect the accuracy
of his own independent memory of the event. Dr. report concludes, "empirical
evidence suggests that recall of events close in time to the cerebral injury are less likely to be
encoded/ consolidated into long-term storage, and therefore less likely to be recalled at some point
in the future." Further, he concluded that it would be extremely rare and highly improbable for
to recall events almost immediately up to the moment in time which the injury

VI. ANALYSIS5°
A. Applicable Rules and Standards
Officer Kelly allegedly shot Jr. in violation of Rules 2, 8, and 9 of the

Rules and Regulations of the Chicago Police Department. Rules 8 and 9 together "prohibit the use
of any excessive force by any member. These rules prohibit all brutality, and physical or verbal
maltreatment of any citizen while on or off duty, including any unjustified altercation of any
l ' 52 Rule 2 "applies to both the professional and private conduct of all members" and applies
to not only all unlawful acts, but all acts which would degrade or bring disrespect upon the member
or the Department.53 Further, it is alleged that Officer Kelly knowingly made false statements
regarding the incident in violation of Rule 14, which prohibits "making a false report, written or
oral." For a false statement to violate Rule 14, the accused officer must make a knowingly false
statement about a material fact.
When making investigative findings, COPA uses a preponderance of the evidence

standard.54 "A proposition proved by a preponderance of the evidence is one that has been found
to be more probably true than not true." Avery v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co.,
216 Ill. 2d 100, 191 (2005).
B. Allegation 1 — Officer Kelly shot Jr.
Based on a review of the available evidence, it is more probably true than not that Officer
Kelly shot Jr., without justification on January 12, 2010, in violation of the
Chicago Police Department's Rules and Regulations. As discussed below, while
Jr.'s condition post-injury has affected his memory about the moments leading up to the shooting,
COPA finds his testimony about not being suicidal to be credible. Officer Kelly's multiple
objectively false statements about the events of the night coupled with his intoxication make him
not credible. Moreover, the physical evidence and testimony regarding various circumstances
surrounding the shooting contradict Officer Kelly's version of events sufficiently enough to
48 Attachment 224
49 Attachment 237
5° While this supplemental Summary Report of Investigation does not re-state all of the evidence contained in the
original Summary Report of Investigation, the analysis, by necessity, takes all of that evidence into consideration
when reaching the following conclusions. This analysis should not be interpreted as relying on the evidence contained
in the investigative section of this document alone.
51 Official Comment to Rule 9, Rules and Regulations of the Chicago Police Department (as of April 1, 2010)
52 As noted above, Mr. and his family's lawsuit was filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983, and alleged that Mr.
injury was a violation of Mr. 4th Amendment rights. However, COPA does not need to reach a
conclusion as to whether Officer Kelly was attempting to act in his official capacity when and if he shot Mr.
as Rules 8 and 9 apply equally to off-duty misconduct as they do to on-duty misconduct.

sa COPA Rules and Regulations, Article IV, §4.1.1 Investigative Outcomes (effective April 13, 2018)

support a sustained finding by a preponderance of the evidence.55 The following findings of fact
support this conclusion.
1. There are issues affecting the reliability of both and Officer Patrick
Kelly.
regained his ability to speak and began reporting memories of the night in question
at least three years after the incident. While he has maintained that he did not see Officer Kelly
with a gun he also stated he flinched just prior to hearing the gun go off Based on the severe nature
of the traumatic brain injury sustained, it is difficult to give much weight to his version of
events that led up to the shooting. Most troubling, however, is how often mixes his version
of events with facts he learned after he was shot. For example, he has testified about multiple
events that occurred while he was unconscious: the results of Officer Kelly's blood alcohol content
test; that Officer Kelly assaulted a sergeant;56 and that the first cartridge did not discharge from
the gun due to the Sig Sauer's out-of-battery feature. As Dr. explained, individuals
who have endured the type of trauma suffered are susceptible to misattribution and
suggestibility. statements at deposition and to COPA are consistent with Dr.
explanation. Undoubtedly, people talked about facts of the case and hypothesized
about what happened in presence. To this day, has confusion about where he
learned some of the information about what occurred. In every statement that has given,
there are pieces of information throughout indicating his testimony about what occurred on January
12, 2010, are not his memories, but things he must have learned since then.
Both parties were objectively intoxicated at the time of the shooting. The medical records
from Christ Hospital reflect that BAC at 5:00 a.m. was .155.57 His cousin
also described as being intoxicated when they left Brewbakers.58 Officer Patrick
Kelly's BAC was .093 when the breathalyzer was administered nearly 7 hours after the shooting.59
A back extrapolation by Dr. Larsen determined his BAC at the time of the shooting to be between
.169 and .246.60 Therefore, each parties' recollection of the events would likely have been
influenced by their respective levels of intoxication.
Additionally, COPA found that Officer Kelly provided false statements about other parts
of the incident under investigative log number 1087256. In sum, Officer Kelly's false statements
to investigators and in the civil proceedings, the physical evidence (discussed below), and his
55 Because COPA acknowledges that our investigation may not have uncovered all of the circumstances surrounding
the minutes leading up to and including the shooting itself, COPA is not and will not make findings of fact pertaining
to each of these circumstances. COPA's determination that Officer Kelly shot does not rely on or
revolve around such determinations.
56 Actually, testimony during deposition was that Officer Kelly "hit a Lieutenant in the face." (Attachment
206, p. 81:2-3). As there is no record of Officer Kelly punching anyone in the face and no record of a lieutenant being
attacked, we assume Mr. was referencing Officer Kelly's aggressive conduct towards Sergeant Kielbasa after
the shooting, which is thoroughly detailed in the initial summary report filed in this log number. This further illustrates
Mr. confusion about the events of the night in question.

inherent bias as an accused party, COPA finds Officer Kelly's statements about what happened at
the time of the shooting not credible.
2. was not suicidal during the early morning hours of January 12, 2010.
COPA does find testimony about not being suicidal credible. reported
in multiple forums, including to COPA, that he has always been a happy person. In fact, he stated
convincingly that even in his current condition, he continues to be a happy person with no desire
to end his life. Additionally, his former girlfriend, (formerly testified that
never discussed being suicidal with her, and she never thought he seemed suicidal. Despite
Detectives Reports indicating heard make comments about ending his
life, testified at deposition that he never made those statements to detectives and further,
did not believe was suicida1.61 The only person to maintain that was suicidal that
morning is Officer Patrick Kelly himself. There has been no corroborating evidence discovered
to support Officer Kelly's statements. For reasons stated both above and below this section, we
do not find Officer Kelly to be reliable as to this issue.
3. The gunshot wound suffered by was not self-inflicted.
The physical evidence in this case is generally inconclusive with respect to who fired the
round, however the evidence established several facts. First, it should be noted that the
investigation was not treated as a homicide from the outset and because was still alive,
life saving measures took precedent over maintaining evidence. In sum, experts agreed that the
shot was a close contact wound based on skull fragments found inside the residence. Additionally,
the CT scans show the bullet moved from left to right. However, while three experts opined that
the wound could not be self-inflicted, several experts opined that the evidence is inconclusive as
to who took the shot. The experts did agree that it would be nearly impossible to fire the weapon
with the right hand. Finally, based on his blood spatter analysis, Dr. concluded that
was not facing into the bedroom as described by Officer Kelly.
4. used his right hand to shoot firearms.
The uncontested testimony is that with the exceptions of eating and writing, was
right-handed for everything else, specifically shooting weapons. had been shooting
handguns and shotguns for over a decade by January 12, 2010 and went hunting multiple times a
year. Officer Kelly testified that would show him shotguns that he had purchased for
hunting. Jr regularly kept the family's pistol. Additionally,
Sr. and all maintain that shot all firearms
right-handed. There has been no evidence, other than Officer Kelly's version of the events to imply
ever fired a firearm with his left hand. Moreover, the physical evidence suggests it would
be nearly impossible for to use his right hand to shoot himself that night. Dr.
testified it would not be possible for to shoot the gun with his right hand and achieve the
61 The only reference to the possibility of being suicidal came from Chicago Police Department detectives'
supplemental reports. These reports claimed to reference interviews with and (nee
to support this theory. However, the content of those interview summaries were directly contradicted by the
depositions of those same witnesses.
15
trajectory consistent with the physical evidence. COPA does not find it convincing that the
shooting occurred the way Officer Kelly described: where walked into Officer Kelly's
bedroom without provocation, grabbed Officer Kelly's service weapon with his non-dominant
hand, walked out to Officer Kelly's living room and used his non-dominant hand to shoot himself
in the head. Due to the location and angle of the gunshot wound, for it to even be remotely possible
for this wound to be self-inflicted, would have had to use his left hand to accomplish
holding this gun and pulling the trigger. This fact makes it nearly impossible to come to any other
conclusion except that the gunshot wound was not self-inflicted.62
In sum, COPA finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Officer Patrick Kelly shot
First, Officer Kelly is not credible based on his intoxication at the time of the
incident, the physical evidence and the numerous inconsistent statements he made to investigators
and at deposition. In contrast to Officer Kelly's account, COPA finds sufficient evidence that
was not suicidal. The physical evidence significantly contradicts Officer Kelly's
version of events. Specifically, the blood spatter showed that at the time of the shot was
not facing into the bedroom. Additionally, experts agree it would be nearly impossible to fire the
gun with the right hand, and was a known right-hand shooter.
C. Allegation 2 — Officer Kelly provided false statements to investigating police

officers and detectives regarding this incident when he indicated that
shot himself
As stated above, for a false statement to violate Rule 14, the accused officer must know
that the statement is false at the time he or she makes it and it must be about a material fact of the
investigation. Clearly whether Officer Kelly observed shot himself is material to CPD's
and then-IPRA' s investigations. Based on the analysis in the previous section, COPA has
determined it is more probably true than not that did not shoot himself It is unclear if
Officer Kelly, whose severe intoxication has been documented and discussed in other reports
related to this investigation, knows what happened that night. However, if that were the case, he
had an obligation to tell investigators that he could not remember what happened due to his
impairment. Based on a preponderance of the evidence, either Officer Kelly does know what
happened and has made multiple false statements regarding the events, or he does not recall what
happened and has falsely claimed that he does. Either way, the allegation that he violated Rule 14
is sustained.
VII. RECOMMENDED DISCIPLINE FOR SUSTAINED ALLEGATIONS
a. Officer Patrick Kelly
i. Complimentary and Disciplinary History
COPA has taken into account the Complimentary and Disciplinary History of Officer

Log # 1033096
INVESTIGATION:
In her Initiation Report dated 12 January 2010, Sergeant Charmane Kielbasa, #2124,
reported that she responded to for a call of a Person Shot. Sergeant Kielbasa
arrived on the scene and found that Chicago Fire Department Ambulance #17 was on the scene
and the shooting victim, was inside the ambulance. Police Officer Patrick
Kelly, #19397, was on the scene and appeared to be highly intoxicated. Officer Kelly related
that shot himself with Officer Kelly's duty weapon. Officer Kelly then became
belligerent and irate with Sergeant Kielbasa. Sergeant Kielbasa asked Officer Kelly to step away
from the ambulance and Officer Kelly started swearing and yelling at Sergeant Kielbasa. Officer
Kelly told Sergeant Kielbasa words to the effect of, "I'm going to ride in the ambulance, fuck
you." Sergeant Kielbasa asked Officer Kelly to step away from the ambulance again and Officer
Kelly came at Sergeant Kielbasa while swinging his arms. Officer Kelly's actions placed
Sergeant Kielbasa in fear of receiving a Battery. Officer Vela, #5566, Officer Montes De Oca,
#13370, Officer Kosur, #13811, and Officer Coyne, #15069, assisted Sergeant Kielbasa by
performing an emergency take down. Officer Kelly was placed into custody and transported to
Area 2. (Att. 4)
In a Synoptic Report, Sergeant Ray Broderdorf, #1125, Unit 121, reported that he
responded to Area 2 regarding an attempted suicide by a non-department member who used
Officer Kelly's firearm. The subsequent investigation of the incident revealed that Officer Kelly
was intoxicated and failed to secure his duty firearm. Sergeant Broderdorf reported that Officer
Kelly called 911 at approximately 0437 hours on 12 January 2010 and reported a person shot.
CFD Ambulance #17 responded as did on duty officers from the 022" District. The victim,
was placed in the ambulance and made ready for transport. Officer Kelly
attempted to enter the ambulance to accompany the victim to Christ hospital. Officer Kelly was
told that he could not leave the scene at that time because of the criminal investigation at the
crime scene. Sergeant Kielbasa described Officer Kelly as highly intoxicated. Officer Kelly
became confrontational with Sergeant Kielbasa, who was on duty and in uniform. Officer Kelly
told Sergeant Kielbasa, "Fuck you, I am going with my friend." Officer Kelly swung his arms
and advanced toward Sergeant Kielbasa, placing her in fear of receiving a Battery. Officer Kelly
had to be restrained and was arrested. It was also determined that used Officer
Kelly's firearm to shoot himself in the head. Officer Kelly was transported to Area 2 as the
detectives conducted the criminal investigation. It was determined that Officer Kelly would be
arrested for Assault. Officer Kelly was given a breath test that resulted in a BAC of .093 at 1217
hours. Officer Kelly was relieved of his police powers and ordered to appear at the Internal
Affairs Division on 13 January 2010 at 1000 hours for reassignment and to produce his Bond
slip. Officer Kelly was provided with Employee Assistance Program information. (Att. 35)
In a statement with IPRA on 25 January 2010, the complainant Sergeant Charmane

Kielbasa, #2124, Unit 022, stated that on 12 January 2010, at approximately 0439 hours, in the
vicinity of she responded to a Person Shot call. Sergeant Kielbasa stated
that she was in uniform. Sergeant Kielbasa indicated that the Office of Emergency Management
and Communication notified the officers that an off-duty officer called in the person shot. When
Sergeant Kielbasa arrived at the scene, Officer Kelly was by the back of the ambulance.
Sergeant Kielbasa stated that she remembered that Officer Kosur and Officer Coyne were at the
back of the ambulance. Officer Kelly was pounding on the back of the ambulance and Officer

Kosur and Officer Coyne were trying to tell Officer Kelly to relax. Sergeant Kielbasa walked up
and told Officer Kelly to relax. Officer Kelly told Sergeant Kielbasa "Fuck you" and said words
to the effect of that is my friend in there and I am going in the ambulance. Sergeant Kielbasa
asked Officer Kelly for his friend's name and Officer Kelly yelled the name
Sergeant Kielbasa asked Officer Kelly if was a police officer and Officer Kelly
replied that he was not. One of the police officers on the scene told Officer Kelly, "Relax, that's
a white shirt you're talking to" indicating Sergeant Kielbasa. Officer Kelly responded, "I don't
give a fuck who she is, fucking cunt bitch, I want in the ambulance." Officer Kelly continued to
attempt to get into the ambulance. Sergeant Kielbasa stated that unknown officers told her later
at the Area, that Officer Kelly bounced into her but she did not remember that happening.
Sergeant Kielbasa took out her handcuffs at some point and Officer Kelly raised his hand like he
was going to hit her at some point, but Sergeant Kielbasa did not recall which happened first.
Officers on the scene performed an Emergency Takedown on Officer Kelly. Officer Kelly kept
his arms under his body and resisted the on duty officers' efforts to handcuff him. The officers
were able to eventually handcuff Officer Kelly and they brought him to Officer Kosur and
Officer Coyne's squad car. Officer Kelly kicked at the windows of the squad car while he was
inside it. Sergeant Kielbasa stated that Officer Kelly was belligerent, combative, and smelled of
alcohol. Sergeant Kielbasa stated that she did not enter the residence at because
she saw blood on the floor and she did not want to disturb the scene. (Att. 59)

that had contact with Officer Kelly indicated they observed signs of intoxication from Officer
Kelly. The evidence supports ALLEGATION #1 therefore, the finding is SUSTAINED.

Sergeant Kielbasa, a uniformed Chicago Police Department supervisor, told Officer Kelly that he
could not get inside the ambulance, Officer Kelly responded by yelling, screaming and directing

Officer Kelly into custody for Assault on Sergeant Kielbasa. Officer Kelly stated that he did not
specifically recall what occurred outside his residence. Officer Kelly was found Not Guilty of
that Assault during a criminal trial. Nevertheless the preponderance of the available evidence

the Illinois State Police Forensic Services Section indicated that Officer Kelly's weapon does not
have any additional parts or devices that would stop the weapon from discharging if placed
against a solid object. Subsequent conversations with the scientist that tested the weapon

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL SUMMARY REPORT OF INVESTIGATION1

Time of Incident: 4:39 a.m.
Location of Incident: St., Chicago IL, 60655
Date of COPA Notification: January 12, 2010
Time of COPA Notification: 9:23 a.m.
This investigation originated on January 12, 2010, after Chicago Police Officers responded to
Officer Patrick Kelly’s residence for a call of a person shot. When first responders arrived they
found Jr. ( unresponsive with an apparent gunshot wound to the left rear
side of his head. Officer Kelly was intoxicated, belligerent and violent, and was arrested on scene
after he interfered with paramedics’ efforts to treat and assaulted a Chicago Police
Department (CPD) sergeant. was in a coma for months following the incident and was
unable to speak for years after his coma ended. Officer Kelly told CPD detectives and IPRA
investigators that shot himself using Officer Kelly’s weapon. No other witnesses were
present when was shot. The initial investigation closed at IPRA on July 26, 2012. IPRA
sustained allegations that Officer Kelly was intoxicated while off duty, failed to secure his weapon,
assaulted Sergeant Kielbasa, verbally abused Sergeant Kielbasa in that he directed profanity at her
and referred to her with a derogatory term, and brought discredit on the Department when he
interfered with Chicago Fire Department personnel that were attempting to treat and as a
result he was subsequently arrested. IPRA did not sustain allegations regarding shooting
and giving false statements regarding the incident.2
In January 2017, IPRA learned of the family’s lawsuit against the City of Chicago and
Officer Kelly regarding the incident. Additionally, IPRA learned that after occupational and
physical therapy had regained the ability to speak and remembered the incident. IPRA
requested authorization from CPD Superintendent Johnson to re-open the investigation. On
January 27, 2017, pursuant to section 6.1, subsection (D) of the applicable collective bargaining
agreement, CPD authorized IPRA to re-open the investigation. IPRA, and later COPA, reevaluated
the case, obtained additional evidence from the civil lawsuit, and interviewed On

On September 15, 2017, the Civilian Office of Police Accountability (COPA) replaced the Independent Police
investigation, which began under IPRA, was transferred to COPA on September 15, 2017, and the recommendation(s)
set forth herein are the recommendation(s) of COPA.
2
The contents and findings of IPRA’s July 26, 2012 summary report in Log 1033096 are incorporated by reference
and will not be reproduced in this second supplemental report. As no evidence was brought to light in the course of
the civil case that discredited any of the witnesses interviewed during IPRA’s original investigation, COPA has not
re-opened an investigation into the sustained allegations from the initial summary report.
1
September 20, 2018, COPA sustained the two allegations that had previously been not sustained:
that Officer Kelly shot and gave false statements regarding the incident.3
During the Command Channel Review Process, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson requested
additional investigation into the notice of allegations to provide Officer Patrick Kelly an additional
opportunity to respond to the allegations against him. COPA served Officer Kelly with new Rule
14 allegations to provide him with notice of the specific false statements he is alleged to have
made4 and served him with an allegation that he discharged his weapon towards without
justification. Officer Kelly gave a statement to COPA in response to these allegations.
This second supplemental summary report does not repeat information contained in the original
summary and supplementary reports, but only includes Officer Patrick Kelly’s response to the
additional allegations brought against him.

INVESTIGATION5
a. Testimony from new witness interview
1. Accused Officer Patrick Kelly
In an interview with COPA on March 1, 2019, Officer Patrick Kelly6 stated that he stood by his
previous IPRA statement that he made on January 11, 2011, and all the information he provided
in that statement was truthful. Officer Kelly denied discharging his firearm in the direction of
Jr.
V. LEGAL STANDARD
a. There are four potential findings COPA can make regarding allegations.
For each Allegation COPA must make one of the following findings:
1. Sustained - where it is determined the allegation is supported by a preponderance of the evidence;
2. Not Sustained - where it is determined there is insufficient evidence to prove the allegations
by a preponderance of the evidence;
3. Unfounded - where it is determined by clear and convincing evidence that an allegation is false
or not factual; or
4. Exonerated - where it is determined by clear and convincing evidence that the conduct
described in the allegation occurred, but it is lawful and proper.
A preponderance of evidence can be described as evidence indicating that it is more likely than
not that the conduct reviewed did not comply with Department policy.7 If the evidence gathered
in an investigation establishes that it is more likely that the conduct violated Department policy
than that it did not, even if by a narrow margin, then the preponderance of the evidence standard
is met.
Clear and convincing evidence is a higher standard than a preponderance of the evidence but
lower than the "beyond-a-reasonable doubt" standard required to convict a person of a criminal
offense.8 Clear and Convincing can be defined as a “degree of proof, which, considering all the
evidence in the case, produces the firm and abiding belief that it is highly probable that the
proposition . . . is true.”9

gathered and relied upon in our analysis.

b. The Rules and Regulations of the Chicago Police Department apply to on duty and
off duty conduct and govern an CPD member’s obligations to provide truthful
reports.
Officer Kelly allegedly discharged his firearm in the direction of Jr. without
justification, in violation of Rules 2, 8, and 9 of the Rules and Regulations of the Chicago Police
Department. Rules 8 and 9 together “prohibit the use of any excessive force by any member. These
rules prohibit all brutality, and physical or verbal maltreatment of any citizen while on or off duty,
including any unjustified altercation of any kind.”10, 11 Rule 2 “applies to both the professional and
private conduct of all members” and applies to not only all unlawful acts, but all acts which would
degrade or bring disrespect upon the member or the Department.12 Further, it is alleged that Officer
Kelly knowingly made false statements regarding the incident in violation of Rule 14, which
prohibits “making a false report, written or oral.” For a false statement to violate Rule 14, the
accused officer must make a knowingly false statement about a material fact.
VI. ANALYSIS13
a. Allegation 11 – Officer Kelly discharged his firearm in the direction of

Jr.
Based on a review of the available evidence, it is more probably true than not that Officer Kelly
shot Jr., without justification on January 12, 2010, in violation of the Chicago
Police Department’s Rules and Regulations. As discussed below, while Jr.’s
condition post-injury has affected his memory about the moments leading up to the shooting,
COPA finds his testimony about not being suicidal to be credible. Officer Kelly’s multiple
objectively false statements about the events of the night coupled with his intoxication make him
not credible. Moreover, the physical evidence and testimony regarding various circumstances
surrounding the shooting contradict Officer Kelly’s version of events sufficiently enough to
support a sustained finding by a preponderance of the evidence. The following findings of fact
support this conclusion.
10
Official Comment to Rule 9, Rules and Regulations of the Chicago Police Department (as of April 1, 2010)
11
The family filed a lawsuit alleging that Officer Kelly and the City of Chicago violated Fourth
Amendment rights. However, COPA does not need to reach a conclusion as to whether Officer Kelly was attempting
to act in his official capacity when and if he shot Mr. as Rules 8 and 9 apply equally to off-duty misconduct
as they do to on-duty misconduct. (See the September 20, 2018 Supplementary Summary Report for more details
about the lawsuit.)

While this Second Supplemental Summary Report of Investigation does not re-state all of the evidence contained
in the original Summary Report of Investigation, and the Supplementary Summary Report of Investigation dated
September 20, 2018, the analysis, by necessity, takes all of that evidence into consideration when reaching the
following conclusions. This analysis should not be interpreted as relying on the evidence contained in the investigative
section of this document alone.

1. There are issues affecting the reliability of both and Officer Patrick
Kelly.
regained his ability to speak and began reporting memories of the night in question at least
three years after the incident. While he has maintained that he did not see Officer Kelly with a gun
he also stated he flinched just prior to hearing the gun go off. Based on the severe nature of the
traumatic brain injury sustained, it is difficult to give much weight to his version of events
that led up to the shooting. Most troubling, however, is how often mixes his version of
events with facts he learned after he was shot. For example, he has testified about multiple events
that occurred while he was unconscious: the results of Officer Kelly’s blood alcohol content test;
that Officer Kelly assaulted a sergeant;14 and that the first cartridge did not discharge from the gun
due to the Sig Sauer’s out-of-battery feature. As Dr. explained, individuals who have
endured the type of trauma suffered are susceptible to misattribution and suggestibility.
statements at deposition and to COPA are consistent with Dr. explanation.
Undoubtedly, people talked about facts of the case and hypothesized about what happened in
presence. To this day, has confusion about where he learned some of the
information about what occurred. In every statement that has given, there are pieces of
information throughout indicating his testimony about what occurred on January 12, 2010, are not
his memories, but things he must have learned since then.
There is objective evidence that both parties were intoxicated at the time of the shooting. The
medical records from Christ Hospital reflect that BAC at 5:00 a.m. was .155.15 His
cousin also described as being intoxicated when they left
Brewbakers. Officer Patrick Kelly’s BAC was .093 when the breathalyzer was administered
16
nearly 7 hours after the shooting.17 A back extrapolation by Dr. Larsen determined his BAC at the
time of the shooting to be between .169 and .246.18 19 Therefore, each party’s recollection of the
events would likely have been influenced by their respective levels of intoxication.
Additionally, COPA found that Officer Kelly provided false statements about other parts of the
incident under investigative log number 1087256. In sum, Officer Kelly’s false statements to
investigators and in the civil proceedings, the physical evidence (discussed below) COPA finds
Officer Kelly’s statements about what happened at the time of the shooting not credible.
2. was not suicidal during the early morning hours of January 12, 2010.
14
testimony during deposition was that Officer Kelly “hit a Lieutenant in the face.” (Attachment 206, p.
81:2-3). As there is no record of Officer Kelly punching anyone in the face and no record of a lieutenant being attacked,
we assume Mr. was referencing Officer Kelly’s aggressive conduct towards Sergeant Kielbasa after the
shooting, which is thoroughly detailed in the initial summary report filed in this log number. This further illustrates
Mr. confusion about the events of the night in question.

“At blood alcohol concentrations of greater than 250 mg% (250 mg% = 250 mg/dl = 2.5 g/L = 0.250%), the
patient is usually at risk of coma. Children and alcohol-naive adults may experience severe toxicity at blood alcohol
concentrations less than 100 mg%.” B Adinoff, GH Bone, M Linnoila, Acute ethanol poisoning and the ethanol
withdrawal syndrome, Medical Toxicology and Adverse Drug Experience, May-June 1988, at 172.

COPA finds testimony about not being suicidal credible. reported in multiple
forums, including to COPA, that he has always been a happy person. In fact, he stated convincingly
that even in his current condition, he continues to be a happy person with no desire to end his life.
Additionally, his former girlfriend, (formerly testified that never
discussed being suicidal with her, and she never thought he seemed suicidal. CPD Detectives’
Reports indicate heard make comments about ending his life,
testified at deposition that he never made those statements to detectives and further, did not believe
was suicidal.20 The only person to maintain that was suicidal that morning is
Officer Patrick Kelly himself. There has been no corroborating evidence discovered to support
Officer Kelly’s statements. For reasons stated both above and below this section, we do not find
Officer Kelly to be reliable as to this issue.
3. The gunshot wound suffered by was not self-inflicted.
The physical evidence in this case is generally inconclusive with respect to who fired the round,
however the evidence established several facts. First, it should be noted that the investigation was
not treated as a homicide from the outset and because was still alive, life saving measures
took precedent over maintaining evidence. In sum, experts agreed that the shot was a close contact
wound based on skull fragments found inside the residence. Additionally, the CT scans show the
bullet moved from left to right. However, while three experts opined that the wound could not be
self-inflicted, several experts opined that the evidence is inconclusive as to who took the shot. The
experts did agree that it would be nearly impossible to fire the weapon with the right hand. Finally,
based on his blood spatter analysis, Dr. concluded that was not facing into the
bedroom as described by Officer Kelly.
4. used his right hand to shoot firearms.

The uncontested testimony is that with the exceptions of eating and writing, was right-
handed for everything else, specifically shooting weapons. had been shooting handguns
and shotguns for over a decade by January 12, 2010, and went hunting multiple times a year.
Officer Kelly testified that would show him shotguns that he had purchased for hunting.
Jr regularly kept the family’s pistol. Additionally,
Sr. and all maintain that shot all firearms right-handed.
There has been no evidence, other than Officer Kelly’s version of the events to imply ever
fired a firearm with his left hand. Moreover, the physical evidence suggests it would be nearly
impossible for to use his right hand to shoot himself that night. Dr. testified it
would not be possible for to shoot the gun with his right hand and achieve the trajectory
consistent with the physical evidence. COPA does not find it convincing that the shooting occurred
the way Officer Kelly described: where walked into Officer Kelly’s bedroom without
provocation, grabbed Officer Kelly’s service weapon with his non-dominant hand, walked out to
Officer Kelly’s living room and used his non-dominant hand to shoot himself in the head. Due to
20
The only reference to the possibility of being suicidal came from Chicago Police Department detectives’
supplemental reports. These reports claimed to reference interviews with and (nee
to support this theory. However, the content of those interview summaries were directly contradicted by those
same witnesses’ depositions.
7
the location and angle of the gunshot wound, for it to even be remotely possible for this wound to
be self-inflicted, would have had to use his left hand to accomplish holding this gun and
pulling the trigger. These facts lead COPA to conclude that it is more probably true than not that
gunshot wound was not self-inflicted.
In sum, COPA finds by a preponderance of the evidence that Officer Patrick Kelly discharged his
firearm in the direction of Jr. without justification. First, Officer Kelly is not
credible based on his intoxication at the time of the incident, the physical evidence and the
numerous inconsistent statements he made to investigators and at deposition. In contrast to Officer
Kelly’s account, COPA finds sufficient evidence that was not suicidal. The
physical evidence significantly contradicts Officer Kelly’s version of events. Specifically, the
blood spatter showed that at the time of the shot was not facing into the bedroom.
Additionally, experts agree it would be nearly impossible to fire the gun with the right hand, and
was a known right-hand shooter.
b. Allegations 8 through 10 – Officer Kelly willfully made material and false statements
to the Independent Police Review Authority regarding this incident when he stated
that Jr. shot himself.
1. Allegation 8. It is alleged that on January 11, 2011, Officer Patrick Kelly willfully
made a material false statement to the Independent Police Review Authority when he
made the following statements: P.O. Kelly: "Um and immediately I turned around
um, when I turned around he was standin' there facing into the bedroom and he had
the gun, my gun to, to his temple.” Kobel: "Okay" P.O Kelly: "He had it in his left
hand" Kobel: "Okay, and so he had it to the left side of his head?" P.O. Kelly:
"Correct" (Att. 172, Page 24, Lines 10-20).
As stated above, COPA found based on right-handedness, expert testimony during the
civil trial, and statement that he did not shoot himself, COPA finds it more probably true
than not that did not handle Officer Kelly’s handgun on the night of the incident. As stated
above, for a false statement to violate Rule 14, the accused officer must know that the statement is
false at the time he or she makes it and it must be about a material fact of the investigation. Clearly
whether Officer Kelly observed shot himself is material to CPD’s and then-IPRA’s
investigations. Based on the analysis in the previous section, COPA has determined it is more
probably true than not that did not shoot himself. It is unclear if Officer Kelly, whose
severe intoxication has been documented and discussed in other reports related to this
investigation, knows what happened that night. However, if that were the case, he had an obligation
to tell investigators that he could not remember what happened due to his impairment. Based on a
preponderance of the evidence, either Officer Kelly does know what happened and has made
multiple false statements regarding the events, or he does not recall what happened and has falsely
claimed that he does. Either way, Allegation 8 is sustained.
made the following statements: P.O. Kelly: "So I went to grab it, well with my right
hand um and I don't remember hitting the gun or even making contact with him. And
I mean I could have I don't remember. I just remember reaching for the gun and boom

The analysis for Allegation 8 applies to Allegation 9, and the allegation is sustained.
made the following statements: Kobel: "Okay, um, did you shoot
P.O. Kelly: "No.” (Att. 172, Page 39, Lines 30-31).
The analysis for Allegation 8 applies to Allegation 10, and the allegation is sustained.

Q. So your opinion is that you were not intoxicated, correct?
A. Correct.
Q. Are you familiar with what the legal level of intoxication is in the state of Illinois?
A. Yes.
Q. What is it? What's your understanding of what that .08 level does to somebody in terms of
impairment?
A. That is when the signs of intoxication are apparent.
Officer Kelly agreed that .0923 was above the legal limit for intoxication in Illinois. He testified
that he had not had anything to drink or taken mouthwash in the seven or eight hours between the
shooting and the breathalyzer test.
Q: Would you agree that if the number is correct . . . point 093, it would indicate that you
were intoxicated approximately eight hours after the event, correct?
A: It could indicate that, yes.24
In an interview with COPA on January 23, 2018, Accused Police Officer Patrick Kelly, #19397,
was confronted with the relevant portions of his prior statements from his January 11, 2011
interview with IPRA and his May 4, 2012 deposition. Officer Kelly was asked if he stood by his
prior statement or wanted to add to or amend of the statements. For all of the prior statements
presented Officer Kelly declined to add or amend his statements and stated his answers were
truthful. Additionally, Officer Kelly stated when he was placed in the interview room he requested
multiple times to use the restroom. Eventually, Officer Kelly urinated in the interview room
however he stated that he did not urinate on his hands or in an effort to destroy evidence. 25
Division, taken November 23, 2015, Sergeant John Pellegrini, #1932, stated that in January of
2010 he was a violent crimes supervisor with the detectives' division. On January 11, 2010,

23 On January 12, 2010 a breathalyzer test of Officer Kelly showed a BAC of .093. See attachment 33
24 Attachment 34

observed Officer Kelly urinating in the interview room in Area 226 prior to the GSR kit being
administered. However, Sergeant Pellegrini did not know if Officer Kelly urinated on his hands or
took any steps to contaminate or remove debris or evidence from his hands.27
a. Digital Evidence
The ERI turned on when Officer Kelly was placed in the CPD Area 2 interview room on January
12, 2010. According to the detective supplemental report the recording was turned off at
Sergeant Pellegrini's direction at 7:44 a.m.28 The video shows the following:
06:03:00 - Officer Kelly is brought into the interview room.
06:07:03 - An Officer comes to cuff Officer Kelly to the wall, Officer Kelly asks to use the
bathroom before he is cuffed and is denied.
06:07:39- During pat down, Officer Kelly asks if he can use the bathroom after he is searched.
06:08:09 — Officer Kelly asks again to use the restroom and asks why he cannot. He is told the
sergeant is coming in and that he cannot use the restroom before the sergeant arrives.
06:08:28 — Officer Kelly is cuffed to the wall.
06:09:04- Sergeant Pellegrini comes into the room and introduces himself, Officer Kelly asks
again to use the restroom — Sergeant Pellegrini tells him just to hold on a minute and that
someone would be in to interview him soon.
From that point on he is alone in the room by himself, sitting on a bench, with his left hand
cuffed to the wall next to him.
06:27:44-06:28:50 — Officer Kelly crosses his legs and begins swinging them back and forth. He
puts his hand in between his legs and presses down.
06:29:20 — Officer Kelly begins knocking on the bench and calling out to the officers outside of
the room, trying to get their attention.
06:30:18 — Sergeant Burke enters, introduces himself, Kelly asks to use the restroom Burke tells
him that he must wait longer. Kelly says "honestly, I will get up and piss on the fucking wall
[pointing to the wall next to him] what do you want me to do? Why do I have to wait?" Sergeant
Burke tells him he will try to speed things up and then leaves.
06:31:22 — Officer Kelly crosses his legs again and begins rocking back and forth.
06:32:40 — Officer Kelly begins knocking on the bench again and shouts "C'mon guys! Let's
Go" He shouts multiple times, getting louder and louder.
06:34:01 — Officer Kelly stands up and faces the wall. His back is to the camera, he crosses his
legs.
06:34:26 — Officer Kelly yells "Yo Sarge!" twice.
06:34:45 — Officer Kelly unzips his pants with his right hand and can be heard urinating from
06:34:55 until 06:35:34 - during this time, his left hand appears to be away from his body and the
back of his right shoulder and arm are visible. His right hand cannot be seen.
06:53:40 - Officers come back into the room to do the GSR test and to take his photograph.
07:00:18-07:01:00 — Officer performs GSR test on Officer Kelly's left and right hands. The
Officer performing the test is blocking the camera's view of Officer Kelly's hands. However,
from what can be seen, from what the officer performing the test says, and from the length of

time administering the test — it appears that the Officer is only testing Officer Kelly's hands and
not his wrists or forearms.29
b. Physical Evidence
According to an Alcohol/Drug Influence Report and Intoximeter Test Receipt, Officer Patrick
Kelly was given a Breathalyzer test at 12:17 p.m. on January 12, 2010, at the 005th District Police
Station by Sergeant Ray Broderdorf, #1125, Unit 121. Sergeant Broderdorf noted that Officer
Kelly had a slight odor of alcohol on his breath at that time. The Breathalyzer results indicated
that, at 12:19 p.m., Officer Kelly's Blood Alcohol Content (B.A.C.) was .093g/210L.3°
A Back-Extrapolation calculation dated January 22, 2010, and completed by Dr. A. Karl Larsen,
Jr of the Illinois State Police — Division of Forensic Services, Forensic Science Center — Chicago,
estimated that Officer Kelly's Blood Alcohol Content at the time of the incident was between .169
g/dL and .246 g/dL.31
c. Documentary Evidence
In a Synoptic Report, dated January 12, 2010, Sergeant Ray Broderdorf, #1125, Unit 121,
reported that he responded to Area 2 regarding an attempted suicide by a non-department member
who used Officer Kelly's firearm. The subsequent investigation of the incident revealed that
Officer Kelly was intoxicated and failed to secure his duty firearm. The report documents that
Sergeant Kielbasa reported Officer Kelly as being highly intoxicated. The report further
documented that Officer Kelly was given a breath test that resulted in a BAC reading of .093 at
12:17 p.m. on January 12, 2010.32
According to the Arrest Report (Central Booking # 17768758) and Case Report (Records
Division # HS 116 069), Patrick Kelly was arrested January 12, 2010 for Simple Assault against
Sergeant Kielbasa. The Incident Narrative section of the Arrest and Case Report indicated that
Officer Kelly was highly intoxicated, belligerent and very irate. According to the Lockup Keeper
Processing section of the Arrest Report, Officer Kelly was received into the lockup at 12:31 p.m.
and at that time he did not show any signs of being under the influence of alcohol/drugs33.
Sergeant Kielbasa, Officers Coyne, Kosur, Montes De Oca, and Vela completed Tactical
Response Reports (TRR) regarding their contact with Officer Kelly. In each report, the watch
commander reported "arrestee is a department member who was apparently intoxicated."34

VI. ANALYSIS
COPA recommends a finding of Sustained for Allegation 1 against Accused Police Officer
Patrick Kelly, #19397, that he provided a false statement during a sworn deposition in that he
only had four to five 12 ounce beers between 11:00 p.m. on January 11, 2010, and 4:15 a.m. on
January 12, 2010.
Chicago Police Rule 14 prohibits the falsification of any report, written or oral. The relevant
section of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (herein CBA) 6.1 M. states that a Rule 14 violation
will be charged when, "the Officer willfully made a false statement; and (2) the false statement
was made about a fact that was material to the incident under investigation."
In sum, Officer Kelly gave a sworn statement under oath in which he claimed he was not
intoxicated after leaving Brewbakers bar, arriving at his house just prior to when
was shot. These statements are contradicted by several eye witnesses and contradicted by Officer
Kelly's BAC of 0.093g/210L taken at 12:17 p.m. on January 12, 2010. For reasons stated below,
the evidence supports the accuracy of the back extrapolation performed by the ISP toxicologist.
However, back extrapolation notwithstanding, it is clear, and Officer Kelly agreed at deposition,
that a BAC of .093 "could" indicate he was intoxicated at 12:17 p.m. the next day.
ISP' s back extrapolation estimated Kelly's BAC at the time of the incident was between .169 g/dL
and .246 g/dL. Back extrapolation is most reliable when an individual is in the elimination phase
— after the body stops absorbing alcohol — which can be between 15 and 90 minutes after an
individual's last drink.35 Here, Officer Kelly's last drink was sometime before 4:15 a.m., and the
breathalyzer was not administered until nearly eight hours later. During the intervening eight
hours, Officer Kelly was in police custody, thus we know he did not have any additional alcohol.
Accordingly, it is more probable than not that Officer Kelly was between two times and three times
the legal limit of intoxication at the time of the shooting and the police and EMT response to his
house. His statements under oath and to IPRA that he was not intoxicated were false.
Moreover, Officer Kelly stated that he had a total of four to five 12 oz. beers36 from 11:00 p.m. on
January 11, 2010, through 4:15 a.m. on January 12, 2010. In direct contrast, the fact that Officer
Kelly had a BAC of 0.093 at 12 p.m., eight hours after the shooting, would be impossible had he
only drank five beers during a five-hour period and stopped consuming alcohol eight hours prior
to providing a sample for the breathalyzer. Even using the conservative estimate of the range for
the back extrapolation of .169 g/D1, five beers over that five-hour period is simply not consistent.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)37, one 4.5% alcohol
by volume (ABV) beer only raises a 200-pound person's BAC by 0.02, while the average person's
BAC decreases 0.015 percentage each hour after drinking. Officer Kelly testified he was out
drinking for five hours and only drank five light beers — two between 11:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m.,
two between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., and less than one between 4:00 a.m. and 4:15 a.m. If this
were true, his BAC would have been around 0.025 around 4:15 a.m., and would have been zero
by 6:30 a.m. Assuming, arguendo, Officer Kelly only drank five beers, and drank all five of those
35 People v. Floyd, 2014 IL App 2d 120507.

36 Kelly noted that he drank Miller Lite or Bud Light. Three bottles of "Bud light" and 2 bottles of "Full Moon"
were recovered from Kelly's home
37 "Approximate Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) In One Hour" table by NHTSA, attached hereto as Exhibit I .

beers right before the shooting, his peak BAC would have been 0.10 at 4:15 a.m., and by 12:00
p.m. his BAC would have been a 0.0. Instead, Officer Kelly's BAC was still 0.093 at
approximately 12:15 p.m. It is impossible that Officer Kelly's only alcohol intake between 11:00
p.m. and 4:15 a.m. was four beers.
For the same reasons stated in support of the findings for Allegation 1, COPA recommends a
finding of Sustained for Allegation 2 against Accused Police Officer Patrick Kelly, #19397,
that he provided a false statement under oath that he was not intoxicated while off duty the night
of January 11, 2010, and the morning of January 12, 2010.
For the same reasons stated in support of the findings for Allegation 1 and 2, COPA recommends
a finding of Sustained for Allegation 3 against Accused Police Officer Patrick Kelly, #19397,
that he provided a false statement to IPRA that he was not intoxicated while off duty the night of
January 11, 2010, and the morning of January 12, 2010.
COPA recommends a finding of Not Sustained for Allegation 4 against Accused Police Officer
Patrick Kelly, #19397, that Officer Kelly destroyed evidence by urinating on his hands in lockup
prior to the administration of a GSR swab. No one witnessed or testified that they witnessed Officer
Kelly urinating on his hands. From review of the ERI, there is insufficient evidence to conclude
that Officer Kelly was deliberately attempting to urinate on his hands. Officer Kelly asked to use
the washroom multiple times and was in the interview room alone for 20 minutes prior to urinating
against the wall. It is logical that if Officer Kelly was trying to destroy evidence, he would have
acted as soon as he had the opportunity to do so. Instead Officer Kelly asks everyone who comes
into the room if he can use the washroom, and then yells out multiple times before standing up to
urinate against the wall. While he is urinating, Officer Kelly's left hand is visible the entire time.
While Officer Kelly's right hand is not visible, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that he
intentionally urinated on his hand to destroy evidence.
