It was another horrific and senseless act of gun violence in this city when Chicago Police Officer Aréanah Preston was killed near her Avalon Park home on May 6, in a confrontation with assailants who police say were on a robbery spree to get money for a barbecue.
On Wednesday, hundreds of mourners gathered at Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th St., to pay their respects to Preston, a dedicated young officer who, as this editorial board noted last week, had so much to offer the city.
