The shooting happened during a fight at Burr Oak Bowl in Blue Island on January 11, 2021.

At least three people were shot. At least one of the victims was shot in the chest, where a vein and artery were severed.

Chicago police officer Kyjuan Tate, who was off duty at the time, was charged with several counts of attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm.

In February, a judge partially granted a defense motion for a directed verdict, finding Tate not guilty on several counts of attempted murder.

On Wednesday, a judge found Tate not guilty on the remaining counts of aggravated battery with a firearm.

Tate was a probationary officer at the time. He was fired from the police department.
