Fallen Chicago Police Officer Aréanah Preston will be laid to rest on Wednesday in Chicago, nearly two weeks after she was shot and killed near her Avalon Park home following a regular tour of duty.
Trevell Breeland and Joseph Brooks, both 19; Jakwon Buchanan, 18; and a 16-year-old, who will be charged as an adult, all face first-degree murder charges in the fatal shooting, along with additional charges for armed robbery, arson, burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle and unlawful use of a weapon, authorities said.
"These individuals went out looking for victims in the overnight hours of Friday into Saturday morning and are connected to multiple robberies and a motor vehicle theft earlier that morning," said Eric Carter, who was serving as interim Chicago Police Superintendent at the time of the incident. In an initial description of the incident, police say the teens got out of a vehicle and ran towards the officer, with at least one person firing a gunshot. Preston returned fire and was shot before one of the teens then took her gun and fled the scene, police said.According to officials, Preston, 24, had been with the department for three years and worked in the city's West Roseland neighborhood.
According to family members, Preston was set to graduate with a Master's Degree from Loyola University this month, and participate in the commencement ceremony. Instead, "The one thing I can say is I know that we gave our all and my baby is in a better place and we’re gonna get through this," her mother Dionne Mhoon said.
