Who shot and killed Areanah Preston

One of the first officers to arrive rendered assistance, but Preston was transported to UChicago Medicine where she died, police said. No one was in custody in the fatal shooting, police said. Preston, who had only been with the police department for three years, had just completed her shift and was assigned to the Calumet District Station on the southern edge of town.

“She was smart, a happy person … she was all of that and more,” Preston’s grandfather, whom she knew as “Pa Pa” and who she was preparing to travel to Chicago, told the Tribune. “I can’t talk about her without breaking up.”

Tense exchanges between an officer and 911 dispatchers broke out shortly after the shooting. “495: emergency, emergency!” says the officer. “81st and Blackstone we have a person shot, he’s an off duty po! Get an ambulance here now!” After a 10-1, an emergency call was given to all officers in the area to assist immediately, over the radio the officer was apparently with the downed officer. “Squad, it doesn’t look good, get an ambulance here now!” said the officer.

Preston, who lived in Avalon Park, had earned a master’s degree in child and family law from Loyola University Chicago, according to her LinkedIn and Facebook profiles. She graduated in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and police administration from Illinois State University, according to profiles of her. In a social media post, one of Preston’s friends recalled her as a “humble, dedicated, helpful and sophisticated soul.” Another of her remembered her as “the life of everything” and “as sweet as a cake”.Read More…..
