A captain in the Chicago Police Calumet District died early Sunday after he was found unconscious in his squad car on the Bishop Ford Freeway on the Far South Side, police said.

Capt. James Lavoy, 50, was found in his police vehicle about 12:10 a.m. on I-94 near the Stony Island feeder ramp, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

The father of two was taken to Trinity Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:06 a.m., authorities said.

There were no signs of trauma, and he may have suffered a “cardiac event,” police said. An autopsy Sunday did not rule on Lavoy’s cause and manner of death, pending further studies.

Detectives were conducting a death investigation. Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson told reporters later Sunday “there is no sign of foul play.” The superintendent then choked up while discussing Lavoy’s death.

“Part of Chicago was lost last night,” Johnson said. “But a much greater part will live on because of his service to our city.”

In a statement issued Sunday evening, Mayor Rahm Emanuel mourned Lavoy’s death, offering sympathies to his surviving wife, two children and Chicago Police colleagues.

“Over the nearly three decades he served our city, Capt. Lavoy received more than 65 recommendations, awards and honorable mentions,” Emanuel said in the statement. “Yet the true testament of Capt. Lavoy’s duty and dedication is the countless number of colleagues and Chicagoans he impacted and inspired.”

The estate of a man who was killed in a crash in April on the Southwest Side is suing the driver of the garbage truck he crashed with.

Juana Salgado, independent representative for the estate of Luis Roman, is suing the garbage truck’s driver, John Washington, and Allied Waste Transportation, Republic Services, Inc., according to the two-count Wrongful Death Act suit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.

According to Chicago Police, Luis Roman, who was a 2-year-old Brighton Park resident, was the passenger of a 2001 Acura that crashed into a garbage truck just after 4 a.m. April 13 in the 6300 block of South Harlem Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Giovanni Roman, the 24-year-old who was driving the Acura, was under the influence of alcohol and narcotics during the time of the crash, police said at the time. He was taken in critical condition to Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood for treatment.

Another passenger, a 23-year-old woman, was also severely injured in the crash, police said. Washington, who was driving the truck, was not injured.

Giovanni Roman was charged with one count of reckless homicide, two counts of aggravated DUI in an accident causing death, and two counts of aggravated DUI in an accident causing bodily harm, police said. He was held in Cook County Jail and later released on a $250,000 bond, court records show.

The lawsuit alleges that Washington was driving the garbage truck south on Harlem and initiated a left turn to go east on 63rd when the crash happened, even though southbound vehicles were prohibited from turning left from Harlem onto 63rd Street.

Signs were posted on April 13 at the intersection reading “No Left Turn” for vehicles heading south on Harlem, according to the suit.

The lawsuit alleges that John Washington breached his duty to drive the garbage truck in a safe and reasonable manner consistent with traffic laws by making the left turn, resulting in the fatal crash. It seeks more than $100,000 from Washington and Allied Waste Transportation, Republic Services.

Representatives for Allied Waste Transportation, Republic Services did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

A former student says he and another student were sexually assaulted by a teacher last year in a CPS charter school in the University Village neighborhood.

The alleged abuse happened on Oct. 3, 2016, in teacher June Kendall’s classroom at Urban Prep Academies’ West Campus, 1326 W. 14th Place, according to a lawsuit filed against Kendall and Urban Prep Academies on Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.

June Kendall allegedly got the student alone with her in the classroom and had sex with him after having sex with another minor boy that same day, according to the suit.

Kendall, then 29 years old, was charged in October 2016 with two felony counts of criminal sexual assault for the two incidents, according to Chicago Police.

Kendall had a history of sexual molestation, including “sending racy photos and text about herself and how she undress, and herself wanting to have sex with [the student], and other boys attending Urban Prep Academies’ West, on school grounds and during school hours,” the suit alleges.

The lawsuit also alleges that Urban Prep Academies’ West never conducted a proper background check on Kendall before, during and after she started teaching at the school, and that the school knew or should have known about the alleged abuse. Other children had advised the school of the alleged molestations, and the school did nothing about it, the suit claims.

The school never advised the student or his parents of Kendall’s suspected history of sexual molestation, nor did it report child or suspected child abuse to DCFS or any other proper authorities before October or November of 2016, the suit alleges.

The eight-count suit seeks more than $350,000 in damages from defendants Kendall, Urban Prep Academies and the school’s West Campus. It accuses them all of willful and wanton misconduct, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Kendall is also accused of battery, and both Kendall and the school’s West Campus are both accused of negligence.

Additionally, the lawsuit seeks compensation for the medical, hospital, psychiatric, psychological and rehabilitations expenses incurred as a result of the alleged abuse.

A representative for Urban Prep Academies’ West Campus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
