Photos show police at Burger King
Newly obtained photos show police at the Burger King near the scene where Laquan McDonald was shot.

Eyewitness News has obtained new pictures taken the night of the Laquan McDonald shooting. They show a police officer at a nearby Burger King where a district manager says they tampered with surveillance footage.

The officer is seen in front of a computer at the fast food restaurant near the shooting scene.

The district manager claimes that 15 files were erased from their security system.

Earlier Tuesday, Mayor Emanuel addressed the police department's actions that night.

"Questions like that exist to the Burger King, the conduct that point by the police department, other things the police department took afterwards, all that is being looked at by the Justice Department," Emanuel said.

Investigators and Cook County State's Attorney have said the surveillance system was forensically tested and they found no evidence of tampering.
