Chicago police arrest suspect in murder of off-duty officer heading home from work

A man wanted in connection with the murder of an off-duty Chicago police officer last month has been taken into custody, according to Chicago police.

The department said its officers and the U.S. Marashals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested 22-year-old Xavier Tate Jr. for first-degree murder in Glendale Heights, Illinois, on Wednesday night.

Tate’s arrest comes five days after he was identified as the suspect in the killing of 30-year-old Chicago police officer Luis Huesca.

“We ask that the people of this city continue to support the Huesca family by keeping them in your prayers as they continue to mourn the loss of a beloved son, brother and uncle,” CPD said in a statement.

Huesca was shot and killed in the early morning hours of April 21 in the Gage Park area as he was on his way home from work. He was still in his uniform, but was wearing other clothing on top, Chicago police superintendent Larry Snelling said.

He was shot nearly 20 times with a firearm modified into an automatic weapon, FOX 32 Chicago previously reported.

Huesca’s vehicle was stolen during the incident and found nearby a short while later. His service weapon and badge were not found at the scene, sources told the Chicago Sun-Times.

When Chicago police identified Tate as a suspect on April 26, video footage was released of him inside convenience stores and outside on a sidewalk.

Tate was previously arrested for criminal trespass to a residence on March 6 in Olympia Fields, FOX 32 reported, citing court documents. He was supposed to appear in court for that case last Wednesday.

Crime Stoppers, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Chicago Police Memorial Foundation, the FBI and the Fraternal Order of Police were offering a combined $100,000 reward for information leading to Tate’s arrest.

Huesca, who was killed two days before his 31st birthday, served with the Chicago Police Department for six years. He was laid to rest on Monday.

SEEKING WORK | Contract | Part-Time | On-Demand | Remote | Trouble Shooter | Researcher | Developer

Hi I’m Onno,

I’m an experienced polyglot IT professional, software developer, trouble shooter, researcher, public speaker, educator, writer and publisher, founder and small business owner, podcaster, and licensed radio amateur. I work remotely from my home-office in Perth, Western Australia, UTC+8.

My experience with data started with the Dutch equivalent of Medicare when I was an intern, trusted with access to 20 million health records, a VAX/VMS cluster and a copy of SPSS. Since then I’ve built and used databases in many different contexts, from dBase (and Clipper) to MySQL (and MariaDB), from Oracle to MS-SQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I’ve built standalone and web-based applications and lost count of how many once-off tools I’ve written to convert one data-set into another. I’ve built visualisations in R, Tableau, QuickSight, D3.js, gnuplot and Graphviz for clients around the globe. I’ve created mapping systems, won several Hackathons, and most recently, in a project lasting 44 months, investigated 300,000 lines of source-code, generating several terabytes of data. I’m familiar with AWS, Linux, and Open Source, am a public speaker, have produced a popular technical podcast about amateur radio for over 12 years and have conducted about 1,800 radio interviews, most of them live to air.

Whilst actively looking for the next opportunity, I’m analysing a five billion row data-set for HF Radio propagation, building a word-cloud based search engine to tag data, revising the eBooks I’ve published and I’m exploring how Morse code evolved to deal with the physical phenomenon of dispersion. For self-education I’ve been building some M/L models to classify data.

If you’re into resolving odd and complex problems, need someone with dedication and tenacity, and believe that “Social Good” is an important attribute to cultivate, get in touch!

  Location: Perth, Western Australia (UTC+8)
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: No
  Technologies: AWS Docker MySQL Linux JavaScript node.js HTML CSS GraphViz R Tableau PHP Python bash git VMware VNC and many, many more...
