Officer Gregory A. Hauser, 43, was killed in the line of duty on May 13, 1990, while responding to a domestic disturbance at 2158 North Nordica Avenue in Chicago. Hauser and his partner, Officer Raymond Kilroy, interviewed the complainant inside the home and then went to a detached garage where 23-year-old Ramon Samuel Chavez was located. During questioning Chavez grabbed an officer’s service weapon and opened fire, striking both officers multiple times. Hauser was shot three times, including once in the head, and was pronounced dead on arrival at Lutheran General Hospital at 9:21 p.m. that night.

Chavez fled but was captured a few hours later at 2031 North Harlem Avenue after a large manhunt involving more than 100 officers and police dogs. He had a prior criminal record and had recently been released from Cook County Jail. The shooting left Hauser’s wife and three children bereaved and had a profound effect on the department and community. Does anyone have memories of Officer Hauser or information about the case scene that could add detail to the timeline?
