Three siblings are also members of the Chicago Police Department.
Michael was involved in the community, organizing block parties with his wife and fixing cars for his neighbors.
He and his wife, Nora, doted on one another. She bought him a Harley-Davidson motorcycle last Christmas. Michael's sons had parked the motorcycle at a neighbor's house, and on Christmas Day they pushed it in front of their home and woke him up to his delight. He loved to ride his motorcycle.
Michael Flisk is the fifth Chicago Police officer to be killed this year from gunfire.
The Chicago Police Memorial Foundation kicked in another $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the deaths. Police say the additional money came from an anonymous donor.
That makes the total reward money offered $20,000.
On Monday, a 19-year-old parolee was charged with first-degree murder of Officer Flisk and Mr. Peters.
