Superintendent Larry Snelling tells reporters the officer was going home and still in uniform. The officer was shot multiple times early Sunday and pronounced dead at a Chicago hospital.  The officer’s vehicle was taken, but police wouldn’t confirm whether the shooting was part of a carjacking, citing a preliminary investigation. Police didn’t have a suspect in custody. The officer was a six-year veteran and just days shy of his 31st birthday. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office identified the officer as Luis M. Huesca.
