BUFFALO GROVE – After the public release of police body camera footage regarding the officer-involved, fatal shooting of Mary Alice Love on May 11, 2026, in Mundelein, State Senator Adriane Johnson issued the following statement:
“The loss of Mary Alice Love’s life is heartbreaking, and the death of a young Black woman in these circumstances is a profound tragedy for her loved ones and the broader community. No one should have to endure the pain of losing a loved one during a moment when compassion, care and support may have been needed most.
“This is a deeply serious incident in which transparency, accountability and public trust must remain top priorities. I support a thorough and independent investigation to ensure all facts are examined fairly and objectively and the community receives clear and timely information throughout the process.
“Our community deserves the confidence that investigations involving the use of deadly force are handled with integrity, impartiality and respect for everyone impacted. I would like to thank the investigators for their continued diligence, and I will be following this case closely as more information is released.”
