Exclusive: Sister of fallen CPD Officer Luis Huesca describes 'unbearable' pain of losing brother
CHICAGO (WLS) -- The family of fallen Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca is emotionally gutted.
To his older siblings, Luis wasn't a police officer, he was their baby brother and the best uncle.
"He was my best friend," Lily O'Brien, sister of Officer Huesca, said. "I talked to him every single day. We would call each other and encourage each other to be better...now the pain we feel is beyond words."
Officer Huesca's sister and brother raced across the country Monday, knowing he was already gone.
"We are both in so much pain and so angry that we were robbed, and not only that, that he was robbed," O'Brien said.
Police said Officer Huesca was shot multiple times in what they believe was a carjacking as he returned to his Gage Park home early Sunday morning from a shift, still in uniform.
Investigators have now been searching for a man seen in surveillance video who they believe is a suspect in Officer Huesca's murder, for days.
"It's not fair that he's not here and whoever did this is still running free living their lives... and our lives... our lives are... on pause and the pain is unbearable," O'Brien said.
If there is any way to comfort their agony, the Huesca family says, the people of Chicago need to find their brother's killer
