Chicago, IL, October 1, 2026 — The City of Chicago is moving forward with a significant legal resolution, proposing a $260 million settlement aimed at resolving 16 cases that have been linked to the actions of former police detective Reynaldo Guevara.

Reynaldo Guevara, a former detective with the Chicago Police Department, has been a central figure in numerous cases that have led to wrongful conviction claims and lawsuits against the city. The designation “disgraced” reflects the serious nature of the allegations and findings that have emerged concerning his investigative practices.
