City Attorney’s Office Responds to Verdict

We acknowledge yesterday’s jury verdict convicting Shiloh Hendrix of disorderly conduct in relation to an incident that occurred at Roy Sutherland Playground at Soldier’s Field Park in April of 2025. We respect the judicial process and appreciate the time, dedication, and service of the jurors, the court, and all parties involved.

In addition to this conviction, the State acknowledges what has made this incident so painful for many, in our community and beyond; Ms. Hendrix fully admitted to her hateful and racist conduct, toward a child with a disability and others, and she has profited immensely while showing no remorse. 

Since 2025, we have recognized the significant attention and emotion surrounding this case, as well as the complex and lasting impacts situations like this have on communities of color and on our broader community. In the time following the incident, conversations and community‑driven activities began unfolding across many different spaces, reflecting both immediate responses and long‑term needs. This work continues today and remains an important part of supporting community reconciliation and progress. 

As partners in this work, we remain committed to listening, engaging, and supporting efforts that strengthen trust and well‑being across the community. We do not anticipate providing further comment on this matter.
