Chicago police have announced the arrest of Xavier Tate Jr., the 22-year-old suspect wanted in connection with the murder of off-duty officer Luis Huesca. Tate was apprehended in Glendale Heights, Illinois, by officers and the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Huesca was tragically shot and killed on April 21 in the Gage Park area as he made his way home from work. The 30-year-old officer, described as beloved by his community, was shot nearly 20 times with a modified automatic weapon.
The arrest of Tate provides a measure of relief to a city mourning the loss of one of its own. Huesca, who served with the Chicago Police Department for six years, was laid to rest on Monday, just days before his 31st birthday.
Despite the sorrow, the collaborative efforts of law enforcement, including the release of video footage and a $100,000 combined reward, culminated in Tate’s capture.
