Clifton Lewis Murder: Two Charged In Shooting That Killed Chicago Cop (VIDEO)

Two Chicago men were charged early Saturday morning in the Dec. 29 shooting death of veteran Chicago police officer Clifton Lewis.
Tyrone Clay, 29, and Edgardo Colon, 34, were charged with murder while in commission of an armed robbery and first-degree murder of a peace officer, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Lewis, 41, was off-duty and working security at M&M Quick Foods on Chicago's West Side when he was shot while attempting to thwart a robbery. He had worked for eight years in the city's 15th District.
He reportedly took the side job to help pay for an upcoming wedding -- he had proposed to his longtime girlfriend on Christmas Day. His family is devastated.
Thousands of police officers from throughout the state joined Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Gov. Pat Quinn and Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy to pay their respects to the slain officer in a funeral service at the United Missionary Baptist Church on Thursday.
