Xavier Tate, 22, has been denied pretrial release and is facing murder charges for the fatal shooting of off-duty Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca. The incident occurred last month in Gage Park, where Tate allegedly fired 10 shots at Huesca's SUV, striking him in the head, chest, arms, and thighs. Huesca did not return fire. Key evidence linking Tate to the crime includes a water bottle found near the scene, DNA, fingerprints, and a palm print. The courtroom was filled with CPD officers and command staff showing support for Huesca's family during the bond court hearing. The arrest was made in Glendale Heights, and in a symbolic gesture, Huesca's handcuffs were used on Tate.
