IN MEMORIUM
Rest in peace, Officer Sixkiller
25 during an invasion while his wife took cover in another room. Officers responded to the home around 3 a.m. and found Sixkiller dead.
Police spokesman James Holmes said his wife called police when she heard someone attempting to break into the home. She then heard what she believed to be a gunshot and found her husband in another room. Holmes called the incident an "absolute tragedy" for the family and said they do not have a lot to go on in terms of identifying a suspect. The daughter of the victim identified her father as Jess Sixkiller, a former Chicago police officer and a Native American rights activist.
We ask that you pray for Officer Sixkiller and his Family. Also, if you knew Officer Sixkiller, please share any stories you may have of him with us. Rest in peace, Brother.
We mourn the loss of Retired Chicago Police Officer Jess Sixkiller.
A 78-year old, Native American Chicago Police Detective, Offi- cer Sixkiller was killed in an inva- sion in his home in Phoenix. Local police say he was shot and killed inside his home on Sept.
