Cameras show Raymond Comer walk into a parked car on West Adams Street.

COPA blurred the other people and license plates in the video.

Police say they responded after seeing someone with a gun.

One of the officers fired into the car.

Comer later pleaded guilty to gun possession. He has since sued the officer and the department for excessive force.

Months later, that same officer fatally shot Reginald Clay, Jr.

The Chicago Police Board has recommended that officer be fired.
