Rep. Aarón M. Ortíz

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. We honor his service and sacrifice and will never forget the dedication and courage of those who put themselves in harm's way to keep us safe.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the loss of the @Chicago_Police officer who was tragically killed today in Gage Park while bravely serving and protecting our community. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time.
