A state trooper was shot in the leg while interacting with Cristobal Santana, 37, state police said. Family members of slain Chicago Public Schools Pre-K teacher Adrianna Lopez had told the Tribune that Santana was Lopez’s ex-boyfriend.
A Chicago man wanted in connection with a homicide in the city was arrested early Wednesday following a shootout with Illinois State Police in Springfield, authorities said. A state trooper was shot in the leg while interacting with Cristobal Santana, 37, state police said, describing Santana as a suspect in a Chicago killing without detailing the crime in question. Santana was being held in the shooting of the trooper at midday Wednesday, authorities said.
A Cook County sheriff’s office spokesperson could not confirm whether Lopez had been granted an order of protection, citing a law requiring such orders to be sealed until they are served. Torres was still struggling to wrap her head around the death of the woman who had been like a sister to her Tuesday afternoon. “It’s unbelievable,” she said. “I’m still in denial.” Another family member reviewed surveillance footage in possession of police showing Lopez’s killing, Torres said.
