Officer Huesca, I did not know you, but I grew up in your neighborhood and I remember hearing about the story. I am so sorry that your life was taken, and I really really hope that the person that did that to you suffers every day for the rest of their lives, they actually do not deserve to live. There was no reason to rob and kill someone. I had to leave Chicago because I just cannot stand what happened to the city. My stepfather was a Chicago policeman and I was actually shocked. He survived 38 years on the streets.. GOD REST YOUR LOVING SOUL
