A 15-year-old boy was charged tonight in the slaying of an off-duty Chicago police officer Friday.
The officer, identified as Hester Scott of the 8800 block of South Wallace Street, was found a little before noon in a sewer trap behind the house,. The death was believed to be domestic-related, police said. The officer apparently had been beaten.
An autopsy showed she died of trauma in an assault, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Authorities said Friday that a teen was being questioned about Scott’s death, and Saturday night said the 15-year-old boy had been charged as an adult with first-degree murder and armed robbery.
