Ella French Obituary Englewood Chicago – Death: Chicago police officer Ella French, 29, was killed and another was fatally wounded during an exchange of gunfire with a suspect at a traffic stop Saturday in the South Side neighborhood of West Englewood.

“Prayers and condolences to the family of Officer Ella French, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. Prayers for partner, who was wounded and is fighting for his life, a full and speedy recovery.”

She was shot and killed in the line of duty.

One of the suspects who opened fired to the officers was caught by police with the help of neighbors, who were having a barbecue when the shooting took place.

“So yes, while we all acknowledge that Ella French’s death was also tragic and unnecessary, it would serve you better to never compare the lost of one life to the lost of another. Especially when one was there to willingly put their life on the line, and the other was an innocent.”

Ella died at the scene. The other officers were taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center while the injured suspect was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

“Shot dead while on duty. She knew the risks and did the job anyway. Imagine the courage it took for her to go out every day and protect her community. Godspeed Ella G. French”
