(CBS) – A family was told a North Chicago police officer was fired for taking part in the beating death of their loved one.

In a CBS 2 Original Report by Suzanne LeMignot, the family of that man is furious.

Darrin Hanna’s mother is referring to a document, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, that shows North Chicago Police Officer Brandon Yost was terminated for the residency requirement, instead of his involvement in the brutal beating death of her son in 2011.
