On March 8, 2020, the officers responded to a “person with a gun” call at 4251 N. Clarendon Ave. Upon arrival, the offi- cers located a vehicle and an offender inside matching the description of the person who had entered the apartment of the victim while he was asleep on the couch, then struck and pistol-whipped him, causing lacerations to his head. The of- fender continued to torment his victim, even using his cell- phone to record the beatings, putting his gun to the victim’s
head and pulling the trigger. The victim was saved due only to a weapon malfunction. The offender robbed the victim of his money, cellphone and Apple watch and then forced the victim to drive to Brennemann elementary school, which the victim’s 6-year-old son attends. The offender instructed the victim to go inside the school and pick up his son. Once inside the school and away from the armed offender, the victim notified 911. The officers arrived and placed the offender into custody and re- covered his weapon. The offender was positively identified and charged with attempted murder and armed robbery.
It is with great appreciation that FOP Chicago Lodge 7 pres- ents these officers with the Distinguished Service Award.
