Guilty Finding

A small measure of justice for an off duty cop killed in a case of mistaken identity:

• A Cook County jury on Tuesday found a man guilty of murder in the shooting death of an off-duty Chicago police officer in River North in 2019, according to court records.

  Menelik Jackson, 29, was convicted of murder and aggravated battery in the fatal shooting of Officer John Rivera, 23, which also injured another man, following a jury trial that began last week.

  Rivera was sitting in a parked car in the the 700 block of North Clark Street with at least one other off-duty officer when assailants walked up and fired into the vehicle, killing Rivera and wounding another occupant of the car, police said.

There was a previous conviction on a second offender and a third pled guilty, all because some low IQ assholes with zero impulse control couldn't remember who they were arguing with and just blasted away at a parked car with some people inside.
