Chicago Honors Slain Officer Aréanah Preston two years after her death

CHICAGO – – Family members, CPD-TOP-Messing and dozens of others stood in front of the 5th district, which remembered a torer and a shining star, officer Aréanah Preston.

The background story:

In May 2023, Preston was killed in front of her house in Avalon Park during a robbery. She had just ended her working layer. The 24-year-old had worked for the department for two and a half years and would soon conclude with her conclusion in Jurasta to work for the FBI one day.

“I often wake up in the hope that it is a bad dream and wondered how my sweet baby could happen,” said Dionne Mhoon, Preston's mother.

Now Preston's legacy is lived by the “Friedensfriede for Preston Foundation” – founded by her mother. Various events are carried out throughout the year to give something back to young people, enable advice on mental health and to promote career at the law enforcement authorities.

At the beginning of this year, Loyola University announced a foundation of $ 100,000 that Preston honors.

Several gold star families were present at Memorial Roll Call on Tuesday when Preston's relatives donated two benches – one with “God's Forever Sunflower”.

Four men are charged with murder in Preston's death.
