The quest for Xavier Tate Jr., the suspected murderer of Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca, continues. Huesca was fatally shot as he returned home from work last Sunday morning.
Tate, 22, remains at large and is charged with first-degree murder in an arrest warrant issued Friday.
According to the Chicago Police Department, a $100,000 reward is being offered for information “leading to the arrest and conviction of Xavier L. Tate, Jr.”
Crime Stoppers and the ATF are offering a combined $25,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. The Chicago Authorities Memorial Foundation, the FBI, and the Fraternal Order of Police are offering a total of $75,000 for information that leads to an arrest and conviction, authorities said.
Anyone with information is requested to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-535-STOP or leave a tip at CPDTip.com.
According to court documents, Tate knowingly and purposefully shot a.40 caliber handgun at Huesca, killing him.
Police published security footage of Tate earlier this week.
Huesca had just pulled into his Gage Park house after his shift, still in uniform, when ShotSpotter alerted police to gunshots near West 56th Street and South Kedzie Avenue.
Police suspect the 6-year veteran was slain during a possible carjacking. His vehicle and service weapon were both gone. Investigators discovered his car first and potentially retrieved his gun Friday at a South Side home near 108th and Hale.
According to CBS 2, investigators were present when a relative was seen throwing a handgun over a fence into a yard before being taken into custody.
Tate was scheduled to appear in court in Markham on an unrelated case on Wednesday, but he did not show up.
Huesca’s funeral is scheduled for Monday.
