Chicago police is asking for the public's help in finding the man who fatally shot the son of one of their officers outside a hamburger restaurant on the city's Southwest Side.
Officers say 23-three-year-old Ronald Heard Junior was shot multiple times early Sunday morning at a White Castle drive-through when he intervened in a fight between the gunman and a young woman. Heard was the son, godson and nephew of Chicago police officers.
Police Commander Patricia Walsh says investigators are reviewing surveillance video from the restaurant and a nearby police camera, and are trying to enhance the images.
The Fraternal Order of Police is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the killer's arrest and conviction.
