Krystal Rivera
Police Officer Krystal Rivera was shot and killed during a confrontation with an armed subject.
While on routine patrol at 9:50 p.m., officers attempted to stop a man they suspected of having a weapon at the 8200 block of South Drexel Avenue in the Gresham neighborhood. The subject fled and officers pursued the subject into an apartment building, where they were confronted by another armed subject. Shots were fired, and Officer Rivera and another officer were struck.
Officer Rivera was placed into a patrol vehicle, but while en route to the hospital, the car crashed, catching fire. She was transported in another vehicle and succumbed to her wounds at the hospital. The other officer was shot in the wrist.
The two suspects fled the scene but were apprehended shortly thereafter.
Officer Rivera had served with the Chicago Police Department for four years. She is survived by her daughter.
