A Chicago cop heading home from his shift early Sunday was shot and killed, the “casualty of the sort of wrongdoing he was neutralizing,” the Chicago police director said. The killed 30-year-old official was shot on numerous occasions and had his vehicle taken, Chicago Police Division Director Larry Snelling said during a news meeting Sunday morning.
Chicago City chairman Brandon Johnson recognized the killed official as Luis M. Huesca, saying his demise was the aftereffect of “a demonstration of unseemly firearm brutality in our city.” “I met with Official Huesca’s mom and uncle toward the beginning of today and guaranteed them that they have my full help as they manage this unspeakable misfortune. Our city is lamenting, and our sympathies go out to their whole family as well as Luis’ kindred officials and local area,” Johnson said in a post-Sunday. The city chairman said Huesca worked in the police division’s fifth Region as an individual from the Need Reaction Group. Huesca was taken to the College of Chicago Clinical Center, where he was articulated dead, authorities said. Snelling said criminal investigators are attempting to decide whether the official was gunned down during a carjacking. “We can’t affirm that the present moment, yet analysts are dealing with it. What we cannot deny is that the official’s vehicle was taken,” Snelling said.
