Cook County jury has convicted a 22-year-old reputed gang member of killing a Chicago police officer two years ago.

 

Shawn Gaston, 22, was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of Officer Alejandro “Alex” Valadez on June 1, 2009.

Jurors reached their verdict late Wednesday evening, just a few hours after beginning their deliberations, following a weeklong trial.
