A hit-and-run driver late Wednesday killed a veteran Cook County sheriff's
corrections officer outside Cook County Jail where she was about to start her
overnight shift.
The officer is
Nikkii Bostic-Jones, 38, of southwest suburban Plainfield.
Bostic-Jones
was crossing California Avenue near 29th Street just before 11 p.m., when a van
struck her in the roadway.
The impact pushed the officer into
oncoming traffic, where she was struck and pinned underneath a second vehicle,
Bilecki said. The van fled the scene.
The injured
officer was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The married mother of a 6-year-old daughter,
Nikkia, Bostic-Jones was about to begin her 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at the jail,
according to her family.

Lord rest her soul.....
So much trouble in the world.
She was my sister-in-law that had a strong belief in God, family and friends. This act was senseless. We ask God for strengh and forgiveness.
May she rest in paradise and thank u for trying to help fix the problems out there officer
