The family of a man shot by Carpentersville police in his home last week wants more information about what happened, including answers about his current whereabouts and the release of body camera footage of the shooting.

A relative identified the man as DeShawn Jones, 32, of the 100 block of Woodland Court.

They have not been able to speak to Jones since the Aug. 28 shooting and don’t know where he is, said Reginald Clay, Jones’ cousin, speaking at a news conference Tuesday outside Carpentersville Village Hall.

“They went into his house. We don’t know if it was mistaken identity or the wrong place they went into. We don’t know anything,” Jones said.

Jones was initially taken to Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin and then transferred to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge.
