The gunman who allegedly murdered an off-duty Chicago police officer over the weekend apparently targeted the “first Hispanic person” he saw following an unrelated dispute, according to reports.
Officer John Rivera was shot and killed when Menelik Jackson, 24, and Jovan Battle, 32, fired into a car on March 23 after Jackson and another friend had a fight with a group of men outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Chicago’s River North area, according to The Associated Press.
