Chicago Police Officer Luis M. Huesca was shot and killed in the Gage Park neighborhood on Sunday morning, just over one year after one of his best friends and fellow officers was also killed in an act of gun violence. Huesca, a six-year veteran of the force, was just two days shy of his 31st birthday Sunday when he was shot in the 3100 block of West 56th Street. The shooting comes just 13 months after the death of Chicago Police Officer Andrés Vásquez-Lasso, who was killed March 1, 2023 while responding to a domestic disturbance call in the 5200 block of South Spaulding Avenue.
