A Cook County judge on Friday ordered the Chicago Police Department to turn over all files related to the investigation of the 2011 murder of CPD officer Clifton Lewis after lawyers for three men charged in Lewis’ death claimed investigators hid files on a massive dragnet for information about the killing.
Lawyers for alleged gunman Tyrone Clay and getaway driver Edgardo Colon last week filed a motion after being alerted to police emails that referred to “Operation Snake Doctor,” an investigation CPD launched to target Clay and Colon’s co-defendant, Alexander Villa, and the rest of the Spanish Cobras street gang.
