- Four people were in police custody Friday in connection with last week’s fatal shooting of Chicago police officer Clifton Lewis, and one detainee has been charged in an unrelated crime, sources tell CBS 2.
About two weeks before the shooting, sources say another police officer, who also worked at M & M Quick Foods, 1201 N. Austin Blvd., had an altercation with members of a gang while he was on duty as an officer.
The gang members knew the officer also worked security at the store. On the day Lewis was shot, he had switched shifts with that officer.
Sources say it appears to be a case of mistaken identity, with the suspects thinking Lewis was the man they were trying to target.
This has bad news written all over it.
