Huesca, 30, was shot and fatally wounded driving home from work April 21 in Gage Park while in uniform.
A man holds a large cross while police officers and members of the public line up to enter the visitation for Chicago police Officer Luis M. Huesca on April 28, 2024, at Blake and Lamb Funeral Home in Oak Lawn. Huesca, a CPD officer for six years, was returning home last week after a shift in the CPD’s Calumet District when he was fatally shot.
As people streamed into the building around 1:30 p.m., two police officers sat outside the doors on police horses. Maria Okninski, a medical professional and a Chicago area resident, also attended Sunday’s services. She said she came because she thinks support for police officers has fallen. “This is becoming too frequent, and it’s upsetting,” Okninski said. “The lack of respect nowadays for police officers is just horrible. I just feel so sorry for all the officers for what they’re going through.”
