Suspect to appear in court Friday in murder of Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca
CHICAGO -- The man police said shot and killed Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca was being held in custody Thursday, a day after being arrested in west suburban Glendale Heights. Xavier Tate Jr., 22, has been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking, and possession of a stolen firearm in the death of Officer Huesca. The charges were approved in a warrant signed by a Cook County judge on Friday of last week.
His relative, Caschaus Tate, 20, was arrested just a few days ago and accused of throwing Officer Huesca's stolen gun over a fence outside his home in the Morgan Park neighborhood. Miller said it remains to be seen whether anyone else would be charged in the case. 'You would be facing criminal charges if you had assisted that person in keeping quiet and concealing that person,' said Miller.
