Chicago Cop Worked for Gang
Former officer admits he used his badge on behalf of the Latin Kings
Fighting back tears, former Chicago Police Department Officer Alex Guerrero admitted Thursday morning that he used his badge to steal drugs, guns and money from people in Lake County and Illinois for the Latin Kings street gang.
One of the people he robbed was Hammond resident James Walsh, just two months before he was gunned down allegedly by members of the Latin Kings outside a Griffith restaurant.
