Family of slain Chicago police officer hope for justice as accused killer appears in court

A water bottle, DNA, and fingerprint evidence helped detectives track down the accused killer of Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca, police said on Friday. Xavier Tate Jr., 22, was arrested on Wednesday in west suburban Glendale Heights, more than a week after Huesca, a six-year Chicago Police Department veteran, was shot and killed returning home from his shift on April 21.

The usual: daddy held a 20 rock and mama still on the pipe. Proxy mama say "system fail my pookie."

[@treydaypnw]

Hold him with No Bail!

[@brianorser1158]

If he is guilty he will have a long time to think about what he did

[@MIKECNW]

How did the neighbor not see Huesca later on? I'm sure he or she heard the gun go off. Maybe he could have been saved.

[@treydaypnw]

Yeah but he was shot a total of 10 times by a .40 caliber pistol.
