The Associated Press: 2 men charged with murder in Chicago cop's death: "CHICAGO (AP) — Police say two men have been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of a plainclothes Chicago police officer as he investigated reports of gunfire.
Chief of Detectives Thomas Byrne said Tuesday that 20-year-old Shawn Gaston and 21-year-old Kevin Walker face charges of first-degree murder, first-degree murder of a peace officer and attempted first-degree murder. It was not clear if either had an attorney.
Byrne said Alejandro 'Alex' Valadez and his partner were interviewing a citizen about gunfire on the South Side early Monday when a vehicle driven by Walker pulled up. Gaston, his passenger, allegedly fired the fatal gunshots.
The 27-year-old Valadez was the third Chicago police officer to die on duty in the past year."
