## Resource

Chicago’s Park District is racing to implement sweeping safety reforms after a deadly July 2025 shooting at Douglass Park Pool that killed 15-year-old Marjay Dotson and left 14-year-old Jeremy Herred Jr. paralyzed. Though over 90% of the reforms outlined in their internal review are underway — including improved employee performance tracking and annual reviews — key details remain pending. Jeremy, now 16 and reliant on head and neck movement, refuses to return to the pool and hopes the changes prevent future tragedies. His family remains silent on the latest progress report. The pool reopened this summer, but the emotional and physical scars linger. With the superintendent unavailable for comment, the district remains focused on turning tragedy into tangible safety improvements across all its facilities.
