A visitation was being held Friday in Gage Park for the Rauner College Prep student killed while walking home from school.
The visitation at Midwest Memorial Chapel for 15-year-old Caleb Westbrooks began in the afternoon. The 15-year-old will be buried Saturday in a private ceremony.
Police said Westbrooks was in the 800 block of North Greenview Avenue about 1:14 p.m. when someone approached him, pulled out a gun and opened fire. We want to thank his friends and witnesses who, after hearing the shots, ran to him, comforted him and stayed with him. We also want to thank the paramedic/EMTs who cared for him and got him to the hospital, the 12th District police officers who were on scene and the detectives now investigating this heinous crime. Additionally, we are grateful to the neighbors in the Noble Square area who have assisted those detectives in their investigation.
