CHICAGO (WLS) -- A judge could decide Wednesday whether to release video from another deadly police shooting involving a black teenager and a white Chicago officer.

Cedrick Chatman, 17, was shot to death while running from police in January 2013. At the time, officers said he pointed a dark object at them. Police found only a black iPhone box.

Last month, a judge denied a request to release the tape. Chatman's mother wants that ruling overturned.
