BREAKING: An off-duty Chicago police officer killed in an Avalon Park shooting on Blackstone Avenue has been ID'd, officials said.
Grief-stricken relatives gathered on the block where Preston was gunned down just steps from the Avalon Park home she shared with her family.
Carter said his daughter attended high school with the young officer, and that his wife coached their cheerleading team, adding that no resource will be spared to find whoever is responsible for the officer's death. "You can only pray that something like this doesn't happen, but unfortunately, sometimes it comes right to your front steps," said Pastor Donovan Price."Every time we lose a servant, a hero, it's pretty tragic," said Sgt. Timothy Crawford. "It hurts. I knew this young woman. You see these young people come and willing to serve."
