The funeral service will be held at noon on June 25 at Living Word Christian Center, located at 7600 Roosevelt Road in Forest Park.

Adrian Rucker, 25, of Freeport faces multiple charges in the deadly shooting incident, including armed violence and having an invalid Firearm Owners Identification card.

Rivera was shot and killed June 5.

According to prosecutors, Rucker was inside a Chatham apartment when police came in, chasing after an armed suspect.

During that pursuit, prosecutors said police body camera video and security video in the apartment captured Rucker pointing a rifle at officers from behind a couch in the apartment.

Prosecutors said the officers then kept running after the first armed suspect outside of the unit, in the hallway. And that’s where police said an officer unintentionally shot Rivera in the back during the pursuit. That was only shot fired that night.
