Community members, family and friends came together Sunday afternoon to honor the life of Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca.
Huesca was fatally shot Sunday, April 21 in Gage Park while he was returning home from his tour of duty with the Area 2 Priority Response Team. His visitation began at 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Blake-Lamb Funeral Home in Oak Lawn. His funeral is set to take place on Monday, April 29. Dozens stood in line to bid their final goodbyes to Huesca. Among those who were present was Elizabeth French, the mother of police officer Ella French who was killed in 2021, and other Gold Star family members.
An arrest warrant for Tate was obtained Friday. He was arrested last month for criminal trespass in Olympia Fields. On Sunday, Officer Luis Huesca's family spoke in a 10-minute-long video shared on YouTube by the Fraternal Order of Police Chicago Lodge 7. "I have no words to express how my family feeling… Without Luis, we'll never feel the same. We mentioned his name every single second," Huesca's mother, Edith Huesca, said.
