On Sunday night, an unsuspecting Uber driver found himself giving a ride to two of the suspects.
Chicago Police surveillance teams were following one of the suspects and arrested him moments after he got into the back seat of the Uber with another woman.
"All I saw like a minute after that was lights and police personnel jumping down from their cars, surrounding my car from the back with their guns pointed at my vehicle," said the driver.Video taken by the Uber driver, who did not want to be identified, showed the moments after two of his passengers were taken into custody around 7:30 p.m. Sunday. Police reports said at least one of those passengers was wanted in connection with the murder of Officer Preston.
Other suspects connected to the shooting were also taken into custody near the same intersection in Auburn Gresham after a SWAT standoff in a building. Police reports show the suspect arrested in the Uber was also wanted in an armed robbery that occurred early Saturday morning near 46th Street and Ellis Avenue in Kenwood.
